Many people are increasingly turning to nature‑based activities as a way to counter stress, reconnect with themselves, and find moments of calm in their busy lives.  Water (Blue Health) in particular has a naturally soothing effect because its movement, sound, and sensory qualities help settle the nervous system and create a sense of spaciousness and ease.

This course supports qualified ASI watersports instructors in adding mindfulness and Blue Health principles to their existing sessions in a safe, authentic way.

There are ready to use templates that you can easily customise to your own business/environment.
