Zentsu, an intense relaxation technique practiced in the shallow portion of the swimming pool, floating on your back, supported by a Yoga and Meditation therapist. This surface floatation on your back lasts for some fifteen minutes with eyes closed and meditative focus on breathing. Following this, for another ten minutes you will float face down and breathing with a full face snorkeling mask. This technique, developed at Zen, has turned out to be the most effective in enhancing total relaxation and release of physical and psychological tensions. A number of our scuba diving guests have described the Zentsu experience as bringing back the deep and secure memories of the first nine months of life in the womb as well the beauty of one’s birth and childhood.
