Aguahara

Beauty in fluid motion:

A healing dance weaving together massage, yoga, stillness, relaxation, meditative presence, and somatic therapy with the magic of water.

New world

Like meditation but under water, where your senses are overflown with sensations so different that your mind wanders into a different, new world. Your experience will depend on your own inner world, stimulated by the movements and feeling of weightlessness, of freedom from earthly bounds.

Individualised sessions

Each session is individualised and unique. An Aguahara session begins, similar to Wastu, with gentle movements, massage and stretching on the surface. This branch of aquatic therapy also includes underwater moves that create an experience of expansion, a feeling of flight and freedom, and often a journey into other realms where a wide variety of possibilities exist for experiencing pure joy, emotional release and somatic healing.

Trust

Aguahara means letting go, of putting your body and yourself in the hands of an experienced therapist, allowing that person to move you under the water. This requires a great deal of trust and is a big part of why this therapy is so impactful.

To gain this trust, a series of steps are undertaken to make you feel comfortable; starting with movements while the head stays above water, trying on the floaters for your arms and legs. Agreeing on a sign when you are not comfortable, practicing short immersions, and more. The therapist will only proceed when you are comfortable.

Group Sessions

Depending on the retreat a group session may be included. This depends on the availability of a heated pool, because we need a temperature of 30 degrees or more for a prolonged individual session. For shorter sessions we can use a pool at 26 degrees. Group sessions are designed to give you a taste of the impact of Aguahara Water Healing, feel the liberating effect of floating. Of letting go in the experienced hands of the therapist.
