    An invitation to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and the deeper currents already moving in you.

    From this place of presence and clarity, we enter the session together.

    • WATER HEALING ARTS PRIVATE SESSION WITH MYRIAM

    ‍ A fusion of Janzu, Aguahara and Aguavida, a transformative massage experience in the water.

    It combines the healing power of water with gentle movements to promote deep relaxation, and in a private, one-on-one session, you have the space to go as deep as you need.

    You are held, floated, and gently moved , there is nothing to do, nowhere to get to. The water does the work.

    In the water, gravity loosens its grip. Your body receives a message it rarely gets to hear: you can stop bracing now.

    People often experience a deep downshift in stress and mental noise, release of chronic tension, emotional softening, and a felt sense of safety that lingers long after the session ends.

    While the retreat includes a group water therapy experience, this private session is your opportunity to go further, at your own pace, in your own time.

    This is not a performance. Not a push through. More like a full body exhale.

    1h - 120 euros

    • REIKI SESSION WITH MYRIAM

    Reiki is a Japanese healing technique based on the understanding that an unseen life force energy flows through us, and that when this energy is low or unbalanced, we are more vulnerable to stress, illness, and disconnection.

    Through gentle laying of hands, on or just above the body, the Reiki practitioner channels universal life force energy to ease stress, rebalance the body's subtle fields, and support emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

    There is nothing to do but receive.

    Whether you are seeking calm, clarity, or simply a moment of deep rest, Reiki creates a quiet container where you can release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your innate capacity for wholeness.

    1h - 70 euros

    ———

    • HYPNOSIS MEDITATION WITH MYRIAM

  • You’ll get to experience Water Arts Therapy Workshops inspired by Woga (Water Yoga) and Aguavida/ Janzu (Water Massage).

    Have a look HERE HERE, HERE, HERE

    Water in itself is synonym of creativity, joy, pleasure, fluidity and feminine movement.

    WOGA: yoga therapy in the water. Decreases gravity, water allows greater ease of movement, unblocks articulations, lengthens and melts muscles, removes negative tensions, thereby preventing stress, insomnia and anxiety.

    Aguavida/ Janzu: An aquatic healing massage for deep and complete physical-mental relaxation through nurturing dancing movement and stretches. It looks like a dance, where the patient lets himself be cradled like a baby floating on the surface. It is through a set of movements that the body deeply relaxes, realigns and re-harmonizes by itself. 

  • We will step on the mat every day! Our intention is to accompany you into exploring beyond the practice of the poses.

    ALL LEVELS WELCOME!

    In the Morning, we’ll have a more Dynamic Practice. My signature classes “creative vinyasa” are a fluid dance-like flow where you get to reconnect with your inner essence. I love starting with some grounding movements and breathwork meditation, then gradually, I’ll take you to a more dynamic practice to empower you! All that on an uplifting music!

    In the Evening, we’ll have a more Relaxing Practice. Inspired by the gentleness of a Slow Flow fused with some Yin and Restorative Yoga. You’ll receive some Reiki touch and we will end our practice with some Hypnosis Meditation.

    Both Morning + Evening Practices will be inspired by the water element.

    We will also have some sharing circles, intuitive writing, tarot cards inspiration sessions as part of our yoga rituals

  • A guided journey to access you subconscious mind.

    The aim is first relaxation and then shifting old limiting beliefs for the expansion and growth you deserve.

    This practice will be part of our evening ritual.

💝Testimonials

Lovely feedback from one of our guests, Carole, who joined us during our last retreat in Rio!

Water Therapy

  • Rio is above all, a vibe, a way of life, and experience!

    The citizens of Rio de Janeiro call it the Cidade Maravilhosa “the Marvellous City” - and there can’t be much argument about that …

    Planted between lush, tropical forest-covered mountains and breathtaking beaches, Rio is for many (including me),

    the most beautiful city in the world!

    This is probably the best place in the world if you need to uplift your mood… Although “ joie de vivre” is a French word, Cariocas (inhabitants of Rio) welcoming positive energy is quite infectious and you will quickly let go of your winter blues!

    Let’s not forget the amazing culture were the fusion of spirituality, uplifting music and dance makes one.

    So, BE WARNED: Rio’s powers of seduction might make you never want to go back home!

I also gained some mental clarity which I couldn’t find in my daily grind. Thank you so much Myriam!”
