What is Amanae bodywork?
AMANAE is a heart-based bodywork that facilitates the release of deeply held emotions and clears the way for profound healing and personal discovery. The technique is based on the activation and opening of points or ‘doorways’ throughout the body. These doorways are access points for the body’s deep wisdom. The process invites you to come into the points with your breath and awareness to discover and feel what is held there and allow the body to express these feelings.
AMANAE works with the idea that the body always remembers even if the mind doesn’t. Muscles, bones, skin, cells carry unexpressed sadness, love, fear, grief, anger, shame, guilt, joy and a lot more of so much lived during this lifetime.

About Antigua
Antigua is a small city surrounded by volcanoes in southern Guatemala. The city’s cobbled 9×9 block streets are slow paced, easy-to-navigate with cafes, farm-to-table restaurants, artisan markets, and historical sites located throughout. It’s renowned for its colorful Spanish colonial buildings, this beautiful and magical city has almost five hundred years of history, with a privileged all-year-long climate. If you visit Guatemala during February and March for our training, you can expect warm, dry days, with little to no rainfall. Temperatures average in the high 70s during this time.
