INTRO is the entry-level course to familiarize yourself with the basic principles and techniques of Aquasoma®, in a safe and stimulating learning environment.

The core of this module focuses on learning how to interact with the central nervous system of the receiver and how to regulate it through the session.

The aim is creating the best conditions for the recipient to experience a change in its quality of life from the very first session.
Because of this reason the work focuses on the head and trunk: mobizing the cervical and dorsal spine, freeing the breath and easing tensions on the recipients' backs will provide them an unforgettable experience.

This module is preparatory to any aquatic body-work course and it's mandatory to access the in-presence learning days.

You will receive important information that will help you get the most out of the intense days of training in the pool.
You will also begin to learn all about the flotation material that we use in the sessions (the floats).

FOUNDATION builds on the skills acquired in the INTRO module and provides all the principles and concepts to become an Aquasoma® Essentials Specialist.

This module aims to offer the receivers a rejuvenating experience by improving their flexibility, relaxation and breathing, as well as facilitating the release of mental overload.

The program covers techniques that facilitate self-regulation of the central nervous system, expanding work from the head and trunk to involve the upper and lower limbs.

This module is preparatory to and mandatory prior to accessing the Aquasoma® Essentials Specialist certification exam.

This is the final step to achieve the Aquasoma® Essentials Specialist certification. The instructor will check that all prior trainings steps have been fulfilled, that the experience sessions have been received, and that the 2-session exam has been succesfully completed.
