Prana Aquático

Participation terms and privacy

These conditions apply to the Prana Aquático weekend immersion, held at Casa de Shiva in Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Brazil. By sending your application you confirm that you have read and accept what is written here.

This is a translation provided for convenience. The immersion takes place in Brazil and payment is processed there, so the Portuguese version is the one that governs.

Last updated 7 September 2026

1. What is included

The price per person covers two nights of accommodation at Casa de Shiva, breakfast, the two supervised Prana Aquático practices, and use of the heated pool, the sauna and the common areas of the pousada during its opening hours.

Not included: travel to Alto Paraíso, lunch, dinner, drinks, excursions and any personal expenses.

Suite extras (valley view and whirlpool bath) are charged separately, as chosen in the application, and depend on availability for that edition.

2. How a place is confirmed

Sending the form is an application, not a purchase. We review the health screening and reply by email within 24 hours.

If your application is accepted, we send a link for a deposit of 50% of the price. The place is only confirmed once that payment clears. The remaining 50% is paid at check-in.

The group is limited to six participants. If there are more applications than places, places are confirmed in the order the deposits are paid.

Participation is restricted to people aged 18 or over. You declare your age when you send the application.

3. Health and safety

Static apnea always takes place in the pool, under direct supervision and with no time targets. Nobody practises alone at any point.

The health screening in the form is compulsory and must be answered honestly. Ticking a condition does not cost you your place: it leads to a conversation before the practice and, where appropriate, to a request for clearance from your doctor.

We reserve the right to decline an application, or to stop someone's participation during the immersion, where there is a risk to the safety of that person or of the group. In that case the amount paid is refunded in proportion to the part not used.

Prana Aquático is an educational and wellbeing experience. It does not replace medical or psychological care, it is not treatment and it promises no therapeutic outcome. You are responsible for telling us about changes in your health between the application and the date of the immersion.

4. Cancellation and refund

Seven-day right of withdrawal. Because the booking is made online, you may withdraw within 7 calendar days of payment and receive everything back, with no need to give a reason. This is the right granted by article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code.

After those 7 days, if you cancel:

More than 30 days before the start: we refund the deposit in full.
Between 29 and 15 days before: we refund half the deposit. The other half covers the suite reservation, which by then has already been paid to the pousada.
Less than 15 days before, or if you do not attend: the deposit is not refunded. You may transfer your place to another edition within twelve months, or to another person, provided they go through the same screening.

If we cancel. If an edition does not reach the minimum number of participants, or is cancelled for any reason of ours or the pousada's, because of weather or force majeure, we refund everything you have paid, with no deduction. You may instead choose to move the amount to another edition.

Refunds are made within 10 working days, by the same payment method wherever possible.

5. Photographs and video

We may record moments of the immersion. No image in which you are identifiable is published without your express permission, given in writing on site. You may refuse, or withdraw that permission later, by writing to info@aquaticprana.com.

6. Privacy and data (LGPD)

This section complies with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law 13.709/2018).

Who handles your data

Prana Aquático, through the address info@aquaticprana.com, which is also the channel for any request concerning your data.

What we collect, and what for

Name, email, telephone and city — to answer the application and organise your participation.
Edition, accommodation and extras — to reserve the suite and calculate the price.
Health screening answers — to assess the safety of your participation. These are sensitive health data, handled on the basis of your consent and used for that purpose alone.

Who we share it with

With Casa de Shiva, only what the reservation requires: name, accommodation and dates. The health screening answers are not shared with the pousada — they stay with the facilitator responsible for the practices.

Applications are received and kept on the server of o2switch, which hosts the site, in France. Contact happens by email. Audience data, always anonymous, goes through Google Analytics, in the United States. In both cases your data leaves Brazil, and you agree to that transfer when you send your application. We do not sell or pass on your data to anyone.

How long we keep it

Contact and booking data: up to 5 years after the immersion, a period tied to tax obligations and to any need to defend a claim. Health screening answers: up to 12 months after the immersion, or until you ask us to delete them.

Your rights

At any time you may ask for: confirmation that we hold your data, access to it, correction, anonymisation, portability, deletion, information about who we share it with, and withdrawal of consent. Write to info@aquaticprana.com. We reply within 15 days.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may complain to the ANPD, the Brazilian data protection authority.

Minors

The site and the immersion are for people aged 18 or over. We do not collect data about children or adolescents. If we learn that we have received data from someone under 18, we delete it.

Withdrawing consent for the health screening before the immersion prevents participation, because without it we cannot assess the safety of the practice. The cancellation rules in section 4 then apply.

Cookies and audience measurement

We use Google Analytics to know how many people visit the site and which pages they pass through. It writes a cookie in your browser and your IP address is anonymised before being recorded, so the measurement does not identify you.

We use no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking and no remarketing. You can block cookies in your browser settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Nothing on the site stops working if you do.

7. Final provisions

These terms may be updated. The version in force is always the one published on this page, with the date shown at the top. Changes do not apply retroactively to bookings already confirmed.

Brazilian law applies. The courts of the district of Alto Paraíso de Goiás are chosen for any dispute, without prejudice to the consumer's right to bring proceedings where they live.
