Rediscover the wellspring of vitality within you.
Water is the lifeblood of our planet and our bodies, both composed of over 70% water, symbolizing life, renewal, and flow. For women, this connection runs even deeper, reflecting creation, intuition, and emotional rhythms. Water’s ebb and flow mirrors the cycles of the feminine spirit, embodying resilience and adaptability. Across cultures, women are seen as guardians of water’s wisdom, nurturing life and carrying its healing power—a profound connection to nature and the sacred feminine within us all.
Guided by Anne Koller, skilled water therapist and yoga instructor, in community with her fellow sisters of the sacred waters, H2flOw™ Water Wellness Retreat invites you to reconnect with nature, nourish your soul, and align with your deepest self.

About Anne
I was diagnosed with moderate scoliosis at age 11. I was taken out of all my high impact sports - gymnastics, track, and even gym class for two years while being treated by a world renowned Chiropractor. The only physical activity I was allowed to do was swimming. Turns out it was the sport I was best at.
Water strengthened the muscles around my spine and healed me and I wanted to know how and why. I would go on a quest to explore the various ways water naturally heals the body, mind, and spirit. I studied aquacycling, yoga, floatation, swim coaching, water massage, water dance, water meditation, free diving, aquatic therapy and water birthing. I draw upon my training and knowledge to design water sessions that help people meet their goals. Water has the ability to strengthen our muscles, calm our minds, and rebuild our wellness routine.

“H2flOw was the highlight of my week! It was a place for serenity. Some days it was difficult for me to participate at 100% physically, but just being able to immerse myself and just float around in the warm water was a blessing. Anne is a wonderful instructor!”
