A 2-day course.
Woga is the union of two words: water and yoga. It is based on yoga poses and stretches modified for warm water.

Water yoga is based on classic yoga poses and stretches, modified for standing in pool water, which is waist-to-chest high. You do not need to know how to swim.
Sessions are structured like their yoga equivalents on land: breathing, warm-up exercises, a series of poses, and a relaxation period. The difference is that you are in a warm water pool!
Focus of Woga 1 & 2 is Hatha Yoga in water (asanas in standing position, on the wall, in floating position, and under water), pranayama and meditation. Prerequisites:
No previous experience required (also no need to know how to swim).

Vedic Healing Course with Swami Omkar
2019-01-26 - 2019-01-27
In this workshop you are exposed to the ancient art of Vedic Healing through Prana Vidya or the Knowlegde of Prana, the universal life force which permeates all creation. Prana Vidya offers the knowledge of gaining, restoring and uplifting Prana in our body. It also explains how to transfer this life force to other people, as Prana can be given to others, who are sick or in an imbalanced state.
Human beings are driven by five types of Prana that reside in different parts of our body. If our body contains all five kinds of Prana in a sufficient level, we are in good health, feel happy and fulfilled, and experience unlimited love and compassion. If there is an imbalance, problems manifest in body, mind or soul. Prana Vidya was already used in Vedic times and its concepts are clearly described in the ancient writings of the Vedas and Upa-Vedas. Whereas most of the common spiritual healing methods deal with chakras and kundalini, Prana Vidya works with the Prana body. Advantages of Prana Vidya:
♦ Simple to learn and practice.
♦ All types of life styles can experience and practice Prana Vidya.
♦ Healing based on Prana Vidya does not have any side-effects for the healer.
♦ While learning Prana Vidya, its healing power can already be experienced.
♦ All kinds of mental and physical problems can be cured.
♦ Character, memory power, and thought processes can be improved.
♦ Can also be used for success in education, wealth, peace, and relationships.
♦ Purifies our inner being and uplifts our spiritual life. Swami Omkar

Founder of “Pranava Peetam Trust”, has been teaching Prana Vidya in India and abroad and likes to share his knowledge with everyone, who is eager to learn this ancient Vedic Healing method.

Watsu® 1 (TF) & OBA® 1 - Fluid Body with Gianni De Stefani
2019-02-19 - 2019-02-28
This intensive 7-day course (with a 2-day break after 3 days) on the surface as well as under water is a “classic” in our course repertoire.
During the Transition Flow (TF), you will acquire the skills to connect the basic movements you have learned in Watsu Basic with long, gracefully flowing transitions.
You will also learn about your own body mechanics and how to support and move each person as effortlessly as possible. OBA 1 – Fluid Body focuses mainly on underwater movements, where the whole body can be moved in playful new ways. Especially designed movements allow the whole spine to swing and let the energy flow again. Because of the weightlessness of the body in water, the radius of joint movements becomes wider and the whole body can be moved in a playful and new way. Chronic physical pain as well as emotional tensions can be released. This form of therapy invites you to experience a completely unique way of healing in water and undertake a journey back to your origins, into the endless depth of your inner ocean.
On land, you will be introduced to both Co-Centering and Tantsu, and explore and share what being held means to you and others. Prerequisites:
Watsu & Liquid Flow Basic or Watsu Basic & OBA Basic.

Tantsu® 1 with Xavier Boisson (part 1)
2019-02-20 - 2019-02-22
A 6-day course in total, this being part 1 (first 3 days only).
Tantsu grew out of Watsu. Watsu is a form of aquatic bodywork developed in the 1980s by Harold Dull, floating and stretching people in warm water. In Tantsu, the unconditional holding of Watsu is brought back onto land.
Tantsu offers a deep state of listening and creates an unconditional union and cradle of connected breath and presence. The trust established by this cradle and its creative exploration make it ideal for giving a Tantsu session to anybody. During the first four days, you will be exposed to the basics of Tantsu: cradling someone in a comfortable hold, which gives access to a deep level of relaxation and stillness. The micro-movements that appear will guide your moves, stretches and rotations of shoulders, arms, hips and legs, thereby releasing blockages in the energy flow.
The following two days will take you deeper into body-listening and exploration of various possible body movements. You will also gain knowledge about meridians, hara, and the connection between mind and body.
In this intensive Tantsu will become a joyful expression of caring love. Prerequisites:
No previous experience required.
Credits: Tantsu 1 is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) as part of the Watsu training program and gives 50 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India. Xavier Boisson

Watsu® & Liquid Flow Basic with Dariya & Daniel
2019-03-12 - 2019-03-17
A course of 6 half days. Watsu & OBA are aquatic bodywork modalities given in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C). Watsu, the part where the client’s face stays always on the surface, introduces the qualities and body mechanics required to work with someone in water in order to create a profound state of both physical and mental relaxation.

During the Liquid Flow part the receiver is also brought under water (with nose clip), which offers a unique experience.
The flowing interaction with water, its fluid support and warm embrace, and the practitioner’s presence provide a space for the client to experience the multi-layered benefits of this powerful and softening bodywork. Watsu & OBA offer an opportunity for profound relaxation and letting go, for building trust, for being nurtured and held, for expanding inner and outer boundaries, for releasing emotions and traumas – ultimately, for freeing body and mind in a flow unique to each client and to each session.
In this course, you will practice basic techniques and qualities (grounding, presence, stillness, movement, attention) of being and moving another body in water. You will experience floating other people and being floated, on the surface and under water, thereby creating space for deep relaxation and nurturing body, mind and spirit.
Participants in this course often appreciate the group space, which fosters deep, meaningful and nurturing connections. Prerequisites:
No previous experience required.
Credits: Watsu Basic is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) as part of the Watsu training program and gives 16 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India. Liquid Flow Basic is part of the Watsu India training program and gives an additional 11 hours of credit for registration with Watsu India and 11 supplementary hours with WABA. Dariya (as WABA facilitator) & Daniel have been sharing their passion for aquatic bodywork with groups since 2004.
Besides the belief that a solid technical base provides possibilities for ease and lightness in further personal growth, their main focus is to create spaces for flow, deepening and connection. Timings: 8.00 AM – 12.30 PM
Price: ₹ 14,950

Shiatsu for Watsu® with Natacha Laborde & Petra Buschfeld
2019-03-12 - 2019-03-18
A 7-day course.
Watsu, the abbreviation of WATer ShiatSU, originates from Masunaga’s Zen Shiatsu, which was transferred and adapted to warm water by the Californian Shiatsu practitioner Harold Dull. Therefore a deeper knowledge of Shiatsu is highly recommended. Shiatsu is a modality, which originated within the oldest healing system known to humanity. It restores and maintains health by adjusting and balancing the body’s primary communication network − the energy system.
About 60% of this course is on land, during which we will offer a simple Shiatsu protocol for applying pressure along the 12 main meridians (energy pathways) and some basic theory of Chinese Medicine (yin yang, 5 elements system, organ-clock). Practical exercises on land and in water will let you discover your own energy system and become more sensitive to your partner’s energy body.
To become a certified Watsu practitioner, you need to have at least 50 hours of Shiatsu and 50 hours of Tantsu, another method of land-based bodywork. Prerequisites:
Watsu 1 or equivalent course.
Credits: Shiatsu for Watsu is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) as part of the Watsu learning program and gives 50 hours of credits for registration with WABA and Watsu India. Natacha Laborde
