The training is based on classic Nordic walking. The difference is partly due to the additionally used Nordic Aqua Handles. These ensure optimized training of the arms, legs and hands through more and more intense movements in the water. Aqua Nordic Walking trains endurance and strength in a way that is gentle on the joints, but also all muscle groups of the human body as well as the cardiovascular system. A not insignificant side effect is fat burning, which is much higher than with exercises on land.

The desire to breathe for inner balance.
Discover the desire to breathe in the Keidel Therme – a unique relaxation course inspired by apnea diving. Combine breathing techniques, meditation & yoga in the warm thermal water for inner balance and more serenity.
Relaqua is a relaxation concept developed by trainer Nik Linder with its origins in freediving. In this extreme sport, experienced athletes dive in water depths of up to 130 meters with just one breath. In order to consume as little energy and oxygen as possible, the diver must be completely relaxed. To do this, the athletes use different techniques that lower the pulse and calm body and mind. The Atemlust course combines breathing techniques of apnea diving with elements of yoga, meditation and mindfulness. The aim is to learn mental skills, activate inner balance and thus meet the challenges of a demanding everyday life in a more balanced way.

These techniques are practiced on land and in the water. Meditative deep relaxation can be experienced most impressively in the body-warm thermal water. Floating in combination with the body’s own relaxation mechanism – the mammal diving reflex – provide an extraordinary experience.
