Jack McCambridge2023-01-05Bahru provides the best body & awareness-refining practices (Qi Gong) and treatments (Acupuncture) in Nosara. I share this strong endorsement after spending 4 months+ in Nosara and working with 8+ teachers for different forms of body work. He is a wonderful, kind, and insightful teacher and a thoughtful and interesting person! I first came to him for Acupuncture and learning Qigong. He's now been my teacher for over a year. His flexibility in traveling to where you're staying is also super helpful for making the most of your time in the sun!

Excelente atención y demasiado profesional... Les puedo asegurar que sabe lo que hace.. Gracias bharu 🙏
Anna Durward2022-08-29I had the pleasure of working with Bharú and Aknanda Healing for several acupuncture sessions and for 7 days for a private program. The private program focused on sitting meditation practice and Qigong. Bharù was very attuned to my needs at this transitional period in my life and designed a program that met my needs very well. I felt mental and physical shifts during and after the program. I had new level of clarity, focus, centering and mental and physical strength. I know this is only the beginning, and it takes great commitment but I am practicing still everyday. I think it is due to the program being designed to my specific needs, it was simple, deep, impactful and deeply connected to ancient wisdom. Aside from the practices, Bharú shared a lot of his Buddhist and Taoism teachings and wisdom, aswell which I loved. I am very grateful to have worked with Bharú and I can highly recommend him and his work.
BrendaT2022-07-30I traveled from Mexico to Nosara Costa Rica to take this training and it was the best decision I could have made. It was a full week of teachings. I am an amateur in Qi Gong and Aknanda gave me, not only the roots to start, but also the confidence and wisdom to continue with this discipline for a lifetime. Bharú is an excellent teacher, an excellent human being, and for those who seek professionalism, he is a teacher with years of experience in his art and in his heart, he is a great guide. Aknanda's values are impeccable in his teachings. They transmit the correct message of Qi Gong, Tao and Buddhism. All his students are really grateful and very touched by this course, looking forward to the next one. It was certainly one of the most beautiful experiences 🙏🏼.

Jillian Fraker2022-04-24Working with Bharu was such a beautiful and transformative experience. I had never practiced Qigong before. He is a thoughtful, patient, and encouraging guide. He does a wonderful job of explaining the history of the practice as well as individualizing the connections for you during each session. I always felt safe and empowered to push myself deeper into meditation as well as a more mindful connection to my mind and body. It was truly a gift to have the honor of working with Bharu.
Chantal Farand-Viau2022-04-01I have had the opportunity to attend Bharu’s qigong classes for two months at the Harmony wellness Center. I also complemented my qigong training with acupuncture and shiatsu sessions. Bharu’s exceptional skills, wisdom, and many years of experience were reflecting in every session I was privileged to have with him. Thank you Bharu, sending gratitude and loving kindness your way. À la prochaine!
Francinie Serrano2022-02-09Inicie mi proceso de sesiones de Acupuntura en agosto 2021, fue durante un momento de muchos cambios personales y laborales que me empezaron a quitar mi salud física y emocional. Desde mi primera sesión con @Bharú empecé a sentir los efectos, fue como reset en mi cuerpo y desde ese momento continué un proceso de cuido de mi salud física & emocional, es realmente impresionante los beneficios que empecé a sentir, fueron inmediatos y también continué las sesiones de acuerdo a las recomendaciones que Bharú me sugirió, durante mi primera sesión y en todas las sesiones siempre tenemos una conversación previa para ir hablando de avance en mi bienestar y buscando el origen de alguna dolencias físicas y emocionales que distorsionan el balance del cuerpo y la mente. Bharú me guiado a canalizar y acomodar las diferentes emociones, dolores físicos desde una perspectiva de alguien con muchísima experiencia. Todavía continúo en mi proceso y siento mucha gratitud de tener esa guía de parte de él.
