“I joined “Home to Yourself” weekend retreat – the 12 of us spending time together in the warm water and in a yoga room overlooking the sea, learning how to breathe deep and steady, how to surrender not only mentally, but physically, to recognize and burn away habits, memories, mental constructions that no longer serve our lives, to play games and explore our inner world, to ask questions that matter, to listen and empathize, to bathe in the full moon, to cook and eat, to kiss, to massage, to sing and dance, to bring out our life vision, to instill peace and love in ourselves and pray for the world.”

Woga® 1&2 (Yoga in Water) with Dariya
2021-01-09 - 2021-01-10
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. Thanks to decrease in gravity, water allows greater ease of movement, unblocks articulations, lengthens and melts muscles, and removes negative tensions, thereby preventing stress, insomnia and anxiety. 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).
Credits: Woga 1&2 (Yoga in Water) is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 12 supplementary hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India. Dariya

Open Heart-Space Meditation Workshop with Samrat
2021-02-19 - 2021-02-20
Open Heart-Space Meditation is a simple practice of becoming aware of the reality as it is without judgment, interpretation or reaction, and settling into its vast, luminous expanse. We learn to embrace and let go of each experience as it arises and subsides. Eventually, the mind falls silent and sinks into the open heart-space, a doorway to oneness, where the inner and outer worlds meet and merge.
We use practices from insight meditation and various spiritual traditions to help dissolve habitual patterns of closing ourselves from the reality that is ever-present in each moment.
The key pointers during this workshop will be dropping our identities and opening to an embrace of awareness and love. No previous experience needed to attend this workshop! Samrat
Samrat Das grew up in the Integral Yoga Ashram of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother at Pondicherry, India, for 21 years. He has been living in Auroville, an international township within India which aims towards human unity, for the past 20 years. Timings: 9.30 AM -12.30 PM

Watsu® & Elements of Vipassana with Petra Buschfeld
2021-09-20 - 2021-09-26
A 7-days Vipassana course in warm water.
An important part of aquatic bodywork is about BEING instead of DOING something particular. Meditation is one of the best ways to enter into that state of awareness.
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gautama the Buddha more than 2500 years ago. Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between body and mind, which can be directly experienced. Watsu is the first form of meditative aquatic bodywork, developed by the poet Harold Dull in the 80s. Considered as one of the most profound developments in bodywork in recent times, it brings the giver and receiver to a new level of connection and consciousness that involves our whole being.
In this residential retreat, we combine elements of Vipassana meditation with the depth and practice of Watsu to encourage the search for our inner being. While isolating us in silence from all external contact for 5 days, we will enter into a deep contact with our inner self.
This journey of observation and self-discovery can bring us to the roots of our mind and dissolve mental and emotional impurities, giving us back balance, love and compassion.
Please be aware that this is a 7 days residential retreat, during which we stay for the entire time in isolation on the premises of Quiet.
Prerequisites:
Watsu Basic.

Woga® 1&2 (Yoga in Water) with Petra Buschfeld
2021-10-02 - 2021-10-03
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. Thanks to decrease in gravity, water allows greater ease of movement, unblocks articulations, lengthens and melts muscles, and removes negative tensions, thereby preventing stress, insomnia and anxiety. 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).
Credits: Woga 1&2 (Yoga in Water) is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 12 supplementary hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India. Petra Buschfeld
