Asian Water Aerobics: Manila, Philippines

Due to the constant resistance provided by the water all around us, virtually everything we do while we’re underwater can be considered a fitness activity. It’s no wonder why competitive divers and swimmers often have the types of physiques that most people envy – they build muscle and burn fat quickly because they’re constantly propelling themselves through water. But you don’t need to be a serious swimmer to achieve the many benefits of water exercise.

For decades, athletes and fitness-coconscious people have used water aerobics as a way to get an intense workout that burns calories much more efficiently than many other forms of exercise.

From water aerobic exercises to water walking exercises, working out in the pool is an excellent non-impact way to build strength, increase flexibility and reduce body fat. Water aerobic classes may be performed in swimming facilities in health clubs and resorts. As you participate in water aerobics classes, you can easily burn calories while reducing your risk of injury compared to other forms of exercise such as running, weight lifting, or contact sports.

Body Options Asian Water Yoga: Manila, Philippines

What Is Yoga? Although it seems like a hot new trend, yoga actually began more than 3,000 years ago in India. The word yoga comes from Sanskrit, and it means to "yoke," or bring together the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life.

Although yoga includes exercise, it is also a lifestyle for which exercise is just one component. Disciplining your mind and body as well as connecting with your spirituality are the main goals of the yoga lifestyle. Yoga has countless benefits. It improves flexibility, strength, balance, and stamina. In addition to its physical benefits, many people who practice yoga claim that it reduces anxiety and stress and improves mental clarity.

Body Options Asian Water Shiatsu: Manila, Philippines

Water Shiatsu grew out of the principles of Zen Shiatsu, which emphasizes stretching to heal and open up the body, a method practiced in the eastern world even before acupuncture and ayurveda. Water not only relaxes the body, but it also takes weight off the joints of the vertebrae, and frees the spine in ways impossible on land. Conditions that place stress on the joints (arthritis, obesity and osteoporosis) are specially addressed in Water Shiatsu.

As soon as you step into the pool, relaxation is immediate. The therapist supports the receiver’s weight and the receiver floats into a unique world of breath and fluid movements. Moved through the water, stretched, cradled and massaged, the receiver becomes aware of her entire body. Tensions dissolve and the receiver feel life expanding into long-ignored places. The back, neck, shoulders, arms, hips and legs – every part of the body is invited to release and move freely.

For some, Water Shiatsu evokes the serenity of the womb and for others, the delight of playing in the water as a child. Many people find the timeless, sacred container of Water Shiatsu sessions ideal for personal reflection and integrating new insights. A graceful dance, a meditation, a luxurious sensory journey – whatever your experience, the receiver ends up feeling relaxed, cared for, and revitalized.

In a stressful, isolating world, Water Shiatsu offers us the unique opportunity to feel deeply connected. The nurturing, nonsexual intimacy and the experience of embodied freedom it provides nourish the soul.
