Why Aguahara with Ilana?
Defying Gravity
Freedom from Pain
Freedom from Pain
AGUAHARA combines elements of massage, joint mobilization, muscle stretching and dance. Moments of stillness alternate with rhythmical flowing movements, freeing the body in ways impossible on land.
Freedom from Pain
Freedom from Pain
Freedom from Pain
AGUAHARA lowers stress levels, transforms pain, improves sleep and releases the spine, limbs, joints and organs. It gives flexibility, mobility, deep and total breathing, release, lightness and fluidity.
Deep Peace
Freedom from Pain
Deep Peace
AGUAHARA induces relaxation, allowing accumulated tensions to leave, promoting a better circulation of energy & blood. It opens a new connection, with oneself, with the world, with beauty, tranquillity and peace.
What to expect
Arrive in the Redwoods (at Occidental location)
You arrive to a beautiful private residence surrounded by redwoods with a magical heated pool and waterfall. We enter the water together and talk a little, I ask you about your wellbeing, relationship with water and intentions for the session. Then we go over how the journey will flow, and get you set up with floats and nose clip (if desired).
Surrender to the flow
Floating in warm water, I’ll gently move your body, in rhythmic movements, opening and closing, massaging and releasing any tension. At some point, if we have agreed on this earlier, I’ll offer you a nose clip to explore the realm of movement under water. If you prefer to keep your face above the surface we will simply continue.
Presence with co-creation
The movements may be very slow like being an embryo in the womb or a piece of floating seaweed, or fast like a dolphin or mermaid, creating a sensation of flight. It’s a co-creation of the moment, you me and the water.
The last part of the journey is for integration, and here I remove your nose clip and invite you into stillness and reflection, I hold you until you feel ready to return.
More about Ilana
Ilana
I am a free spirited woman, a mother, dancer, lover of the water, people and the wilderness. For 22 years, I travelled across 5 continents dedicated to fostering peace and environmental protection whilst deepening my knowledge of Earth based spirituality and traditional healing. I’ve worked with individuals & groups from across divides using nature, movement, council and ceremony. In 2014, I stepped back to give birth to my daughter. When she turned four I felt the call to serve again, yet did not know how, until one powerful moment.
Standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Mexico, I was mesmerised by two people moving in the water. In that instant, I knew in the depth of my being, that whatever it is they are doing, it’s what I am destined to do. A culmination of everything I have done so far. It was Aguahara, and it felt like home! I have been training in Mexico with the founder Alex Siebenstern and Sandra Morell, giving and receiving sessions in lakes, rivers, the sea, hot springs, pools, spas and even hot tubs. No matter the size, if it’s warm enough – we can do it!
