AQUATHERICS® program The AQUATHERICS® program does not prescribe set choreographies. Instead it explores the underlying body mechanics principals of the movements of both the receiver and practitioner while utilizing principles of the water. This deeper understanding of the movements in water allows the practitioner to tune a session even more deeply into the unique needs of each receiver. AQUATERNATIVES® foundation is the first class in the AQUATHERICS® program. This course is an ideal introduction for persons interested in beginning Aquatic Bodywork or adding depth and quality to their existing practice. It lays the groundwork by beginning with safe productive alignment and movement of ones own body in water. Next we address the safety and alignment of the receiver while maintaining a neutral connection. Continuing the connection, we learn to move effectively from a still base, a travelling base, utilize adaptive tools, and finally continue our awareness and flow under the water with nose clips. After one has taken the AQUATERNATIVES® foundation, one can choose from a wide variety of classes from the AQUATHERICS® program. The AQUATHERICS® program was created by Mary Theri Thomas. Theri is a certified instructor of the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association (WABA).The AQUATHERICS® program classes developed out of Theri's extensive study of the four main styles of Aquatic Bodywork and her keen awareness and attention to connection, alignment, body mechanics, technique and learning styles. Although there are obvious similarities among the different styles of Aquatic Bodywork, Theri discovered there are also very different driving principles each style of the work has at its core. By focusing on those principles rather than choreography or sequence and by creating exercises on the spot to address getting the feeling of the principle in our own body, we can truly join the being we are floating with in the water. We can fully be with the person in each moment and each movement with the confidence the added knowledge of a strong foundation of principles to draw from brings us.
