Damian Chaparro

Crafting awakening rhythms to thrive on. For 20+ years I've helped people come home to their bodies, minds and hearts: 8,000+ guests from 45+ countries, from elite athletes and executives to everyday heroes. I co-founded and lead Aro Ha, an eco-wellness retreat in the mountains above Glenorchy, New Zealand. 40+ international awards. One of Condé Nast Traveller's Top 20 Destination Spas (2025). And we don't just hope you change, we measure it: 24 markers of transformation, quantified, including biological age reversal up to 2.1 years in 6 days. My work crafts beauty from the inside-out, through Lenses, Rhythms and Levers. The tools are simple, and science-informed: breathwork, mindfulness, IFS, yoga, time in nature and functional strength. The result is a calmer nervous system, a stronger body and a longer, more playful life. Start with Impulse Delay or Box Breathing. Then move with my longevity series. Go deeper on the Adventures in Wellbeing podcast, or come to the mountains for Revive & Thrive. Need to shake something loose? Ecstatic Dance is under Djamasté.

Thanks, Damian. I liked the finger movements: gyan, akadsh, prithvi, and varuna are the thumb to index, middle, ring, and pinkie. Middle and ring together with index and pinkie apart is called apana. Index and middle together, ring and pinkie together with gap between middle and ring is called, of course, "Live long and prosper". If that pose has a sanscrit mudra name, I don't know what it is. 🤔 I also do thumb pins index, middle, ring, and pinkie: vatu, Surya, Shunya, and Jal Shamack. You're speaking my language.

I really like this practice, and I like the challenge of brushing teeth while switching balancing foot and changing the hand with which I hold a toothbrush. I will return to this practice ongoingly.
