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.

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).

Watsu® & OBA® Basic with Petra Buschfeld
2021-10-07 - 2021-10-10
A 4-days course on the surface and under water.
Watsu & OBA are aquatic bodywork modalities given in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C). While Watsu is the mother of all water therapies, created by Harold Dull in the 1980s, OBA (formerly called Aquawellness) was developed afterwards by Kaya Femerling and Nirvano Martina Schulz. It combines elements of light movements and stretching, massage and mobilization of the joints in connection with breathing and energetic work conducted both on the surface and under water.

Watsu, the part during which the receiver’s face remains on the surface, introduces the qualities and body mechanics to work with someone in water. During the OBA part the receiver is brought under water (with nose clip), which offers a unique experience.
Watsu & OBA offer an opportunity for profound relaxation and letting go, building trust, being nurtured and held, expanding inner and outer boundaries, releasing emotions and traumas – ultimately, for freeing body and mind in a flow unique to each client and each session.
In this course, you will practice basic techniques and qualities of being (grounding, presence, stillness, movement, attention) while 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. 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. OBA Basic is part of the Watsu India training program and gives additional 15 hours of credit for registration with Watsu India and 15 supplementary hours with WABA. Petra Buschfeld

At the end of this course you will be able to offer friends and acquaintances a complete OBA session. More about OBA:
Developed by Kaya Femerling & Nirvano Martina Schulz, OBA is a deeply relaxing form of aquatic therapy, which takes place in a warm water pool..

This form of aquatic therapy invites you to experience the healing energies of water in a new way. Chronic physical pain as well as emotional tensions can be released. Special positions may remind you of how you felt to be held as a child.
You might dive into a wondrous world of memories, of floating weightlessly in the protective womb of your mother, of diving right back into that very space where you were surrounded by soft warm water.

Liquid Flow Essence with Dariya & Daniel
2022-04-08 - 2022-04-14
A 7-day course, on the surface as well as under water.
Liquid Flow is an aquatic bodywork modality given in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C). Developed at the Quiet Healing Center, Auroville, Liquid Flow is inspired and based on the forms and qualities of Watsu, OBA, Healing Dance, and WaterDance.
With a complete sense of presence and attention, the practitioner moves, folds, stretches, and massages the receiver’s floating body on the surface, inducing a profound state of both physical and mental relaxation. Depending on the choice of the receiver, a session can also include an underwater part (with nose clip), which offers a unique experience of being moved under water.
The flowing interaction with water, its fluid support and warm embrace, and the practitioner’s presence provide a space for the receiver to experience the multilayered benefits of this powerful and softening bodywork. Liquid Flow offers 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 receiver and to each session. This intense course with the main Liquid Flow sequence is for students of different aquatic bodywork modalities, who wish to dive deeper into their practice.
In combination with practices on land, you will experience the profound effects of this powerful, yet softening, work.
Liquid Flow Essence is the favourite elective of many students. Inspired by different aquatic bodywork modalities, it offers a wonderful new sequence of essential mobilisation possibilities in a flow with ease and continuity.
Together with a deepening presence and unconditional holding, this course improves your therapeutic work and leads towards the essence of any aquatic bodywork: being deeply in touch with one’s essence, and experiencing a sense of timelessness and connection to ALL. Prerequisites:
Watsu & Liquid Flow Basic or Watsu & OBA Basic, and number of practice sessions given according to teachers’ recommendation.
Credits: Liquid Flow Essence is part of the Watsu India training program and gives 50 supplementary hours of credit for registration with WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and as an elective with Watsu India. Dariya (as WABA facilitator) & Daniel have been sharing their passion for aquatic bodywork with groups since 2004.

Woga® Class with Maggie
2022-05-02, 2022-05-16, 2022-07-11, 2022-07-25
Yoga in water is based on classic yoga poses and stretches, modified for standing in pool water, which is waist-to-chest high. Classes 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 (35°C). The substantial decrease of gravity in warm water allows greater ease of movement, unblocks articulations, lengthens & melts muscles, and removes negative tensions, thereby preventing stress, insomnia and anxiety.
No previous experience required (also no need to be able to swim)! Maggie
Originally from London, Maggie joined Auroville in 2005 where she lives and works. She is a highly experienced massage therapist and course facilitator. She is also a professionally trained Somatic Movement Educator and WOGA (Yoga in Water) Instructor. Timings: 4.00 – 5.30 pm
Price: ₹ 500
