Meet the immersion
What is Prana Aquático?
Prana Aquático is a weekend immersion inspired by static apnea, with a greater focus on conscious breathing, meditation and presence in the water. Across two mornings, the sequence invites you to slow down, notice the body's signals and experience resources that may support nervous-system self-regulation and a less automatic response to the stress of contemporary life.
01Conscious breathing
Slows the pace, organizes attention and prepares body and mind for the experience.
02Meditation
Trains the observation of sensations, thoughts and impulses before responding.
03Static apnea
A voluntary pause in breathing while the body remains still, practised in the pool with direct supervision and no time targets.
The method
A different relationship with yourself, in four movements.
Collective presence, individual attention
02
Attention
Observe. Notice before reacting.
Meditation prepares the stillness required to recognize thoughts, tension and impulses without having to obey them.
Meditation and body awareness03
Depth
Inhabit. Relax within discomfort.
In the pool, supervised static apnea reveals the relationship between control, tension and economy of movement.
Supervised static apnea04
Integration
Integrate. Apply what you learned to daily life.
The experience ends in the water and becomes part of daily life through a simple practice that will help you notice the body's signals and create space to respond with greater awareness.
Reflection and everyday practicesWhat you take home from the immersion
Relaxation happens here. The resources follow you home.
Breathing, meditation and body awareness may support stress management and wellbeing. During the immersion, you experience these resources in the body and learn how to revisit them in daily life.
Deep decompression
Two mornings to reduce overstimulation, soften accumulated tension and rediscover a more spacious internal rhythm.
Clarity to choose
By noticing tension, thoughts and impulses sooner, you create a pause before responding on autopilot.
Less scattered energy
Reducing noise and stepping out of autopilot may support a steadier sense of presence and energy throughout the day.
A resource for intense days
A sequence of conscious breathing, pausing and body awareness you can repeat when you notice stress beginning to take up space.
The experience ends in the water, but the learning continues in how you move through life:with greater presence, clarity and awareness.
You return with a practice
At the end of the immersion, you will receive by email a short sequence to incorporate into daily life — a resource for stress regulation, greater presence and mental clarity. Effects depend on consistency and vary from person to person.
An immersion that fits into life
Depth in the morning. Freedom for the rest of the day.
Two mornings of practice create depth without taking over the whole weekend. After each session, the nature of Alto Paraíso offers room to integrate, rest and return to your own rhythm.

Xavier Chavanes
Xavier has been a freediving instructor since 2014 at Apnea Academy, the international freediving school founded in 1995 by the Italian freediver Umberto Pelizzari. Its teaching holds demanding training and safety standards, and emphasises deep-water relaxation, mental control, correct breathing technique and physiology.
Xavier also trained in Hatha Yoga and Pranayama at the Siddharth Yoga Centre ashram in Varanasi, India, and practises the ancient Vipassana meditation technique.
He brings together conscious breathing, meditation and apnea to lead a unique, technically responsible experience — toward deeper self-knowledge.
“When the breath falls silent, the body reveals its patterns. That is where presence stops being an idea and becomes a practice.”

Breakfast includedNext edition
Two mornings to change how you respond to everyday stress.
More than a pause in Alto Paraíso, the experience is designed to help you return to daily life with a simple practice, recognize stress signals more clearly and create space between impulse and response — so you can interrupt automatic reactions and choose how to act.
