Aida is an invitation to return to the body: from tension toward openness, from holding toward release, from distance toward contact.
The work is not driven by effort or performance. There is no expectation to “do it right.”
Sessions move slowly, guided by what the body reveals in the moment, with care, patience, and deep attention. Many guests arrive simply longing to feel again, to be listened to, supported, and met with warmth.
Rope as Contact
In Aida, rope is used as a bridge between body and attention, increasing contact between practitioner and guest and amplifying sensation.
Rope becomes a form of embrace: structured, gentle, and responsive. It does not impose an experience, it supports listening.
At times, the work may include suspension or semi-suspension, when appropriate. These moments are always guided, optional, and shaped through care and consent.
The Session Arc
- Orientation — Arrival, settling in, and establishing a shared sense of intention.
- Softening — Through breath and contact, practitioner and guest find a shared rhythm, allowing held tension to ease.
- Experience — Full presence. Sensation and emotion are met in trust and openness.
- Return — What has been lived is met with accompaniment, warmth, and care.
- Integration — Closing slowly, allowing what has shifted to carry into life.
Guests do not need to “do” anything. The body leads, and the practice responds.
