Healing Dance 1 with Ashaman
2024-12-17 - 2024-12-22
A 6-day course, on the surface only.
Healing Dance 1 constitutes a paradigm shift for the student of aquatic bodywork. It sees the body as at home in the water and hydrodynamic in its form, healing in the flow of movement. It understands the psyche as needing not only nurture and closeness, but space, freedom and acceptance of self-expression, as well. More than anything else, Healing Dance 1 is the wave. In addition to seven full-body waves, the sequence encompasses various circles, figure eights and releases, all balanced by the stillness of positional sanctuaries, and woven together with flowing transitions.
The study of body mechanics extends beyond the familiar Horse and Warrior Stances to include different walking patterns that allow traveling across the pool. Healing Dance principles are discussed on land and practiced in the water. These include moving by example, creative imbalance, the rhythmic field and dosing movement. Finally, you are introduced to Relating and Mirroring, the goal of all technical study, the art of sensitively accompanying the movement impulses and unwinding of receivers. A written and photo manual are provided and an MP4 of the sequence is made available. Prerequisites: Introduction to Healing Dance or Watsu 1.
Credits: Healing Dance 1 is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 50 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Ashaman
I have been dancing and healing in the water since my first training with Alexander in 1999, when I discovered an altogether unexpected love for aquatic bodywork. I realized that I could apply postural movement awareness from martial art to this unique shared therapeutic dance in warm water, and the fluidity and dynamic grace inherent in aquatic bodywork immediately touched my center. Integrating my passions for body awareness, enhanced consciousness through movement, and relating, I studied most of the prominent aquatic modalities, and in 2005 was among the early few certified to teach Healing Dance by Alexander. Since then I continue to immensely enjoy leading Healing Dance trainings in the United States, Europe, Israel and India. I am currently one of a small handful of instructors who certify Healing Dance Surface practitioners. I teach the Introduction to Healing Dance, Healing Dance 1 & 2, Relating & Mirroring, Healing Dance Underwater Basics, and the 50 hr underwater course Shape & Space.
In addition to my experience in the water I am a very active father of a 3 ½ year old son, have practiced and taught Eastern and Western bodywork for over 20 years, am fascinated with breath and the martial arts, instruct sustainable movement and fitness practices, have worked as a climbing arborist in the tall trees of Hawaii and am a dedicated student of the classical & flamenco guitar… and I look forward to meeting you in the water!

Healing Dance Relating & Mirroring with Ashaman
2025-01-13 - 2025-01-15
A 3-day course, on the surface only.
Relating & Mirroring is a 25 hour course focusing on perhaps the most important aspect of aquatic bodywork: that our receivers feel felt, and that as givers we are able to truly feel and mirror them in all dimensions—physical, emotional and spiritual. The recent discovery of mirror neurons in the brain has provided our generation with a scientific basis for empathy. In the training we will delve into this neurophysiological phenomena underlying our social interactions before focusing on how it translates into the water. On land we will experiment with dance mirroring exercises, authentic movement and exercises to fine-tune presence. In the water we will develop the skills and perceptual framework to follow and support receivers in their movement and stillness. A few of the principles we will explore include using the water, joining, extending and supporting. Not only will the course train us to better accompany our receivers, but it will also offer a setting in which we ourselves as receivers may allow our own unwinding and soul dance to unfold. Additionally, we will practice the verbal skills to create the invitation and safe framework for our receivers to flow into their own movement impulses. Prerequisites: Healing Dance 1 or Watsu 1.
Credits: Relating & Mirroring is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 25 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Cosmic Child with Nirvano
2025-02-01 - 2025-02-06
Prenatal Work with Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua.
Your physical life begins at conception, which offers you a formless, boundless, and timeless existence to develop safely in your mother’s womb. This environment allows you to undergo all stages of evolution in a short time, providing love, warmth, and the freedom to move weightlessly. Even as an adult, every cell in your body, your innermost core, your soul, and your subconscious still remember this time.
Birth is a powerful transition, marking your entry into the world. It separates you from your mother and, in a broader sense, from the universe. The feeling of isolation and loneliness can persist throughout life, often repressed and buried deep in your subconscious. The warm water environment can create a receptive space where your pain and longing can emerge.
The prenatal phase and birth have a profound influence on your entire life. They shape your most important attitudes and impact your life patterns and relationships. The desire to experience original unity with the universe remains, bringing inner peace as the feeling of separation fades. In moments of surrender and unconditional love, you become one again, a flowing part of the whole. The Process
The Cosmic Child process focuses on a meditative experience rather than learning new techniques. The challenge is in the “being” rather than “doing.” On this inner journey of discovery, you encounter yourself.
Through reflex movements, aquatic body waves, and embryonic positions, you dive deeper into memories of your birth, prenatal phase, conception, and beyond, experiencing a space of deep inner stillness.
Water work and gentle exercises open hidden inner spaces within your subconscious. The warm water, Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, and the loving presence of the water family accompany you through this intensive process.

• Oceanic Bodywork session exchange
• Oceanic Bodywork aquatic body wave

Tantsu® 1 with Keli Procopio
2025-03-01 - 2025-03-06
Tantsu was developed by Harold Dull in the same year he conceived Watsu with the intent to bring on land the same principles provided in Watsu.
The basic principles of Zen Shiatsu are further amplified in Tantsu, where a person is totally contained in a whole-body holding position, called Tantsu Cradle. A Tantsu session includes passive stretching, use of Shiatsu pressure points, spontaneous movements of the body, and non-verbal communication. In this course, you will learn different cradles for providing a safe container, while moving and stretching your partner in sync with the breath. As a receiver, you will enjoy the Tantsu benefits through the gentleness and deep connection that each position creates. We will also practice active meditation, breathing exercises, and free dance movements.
Tantsu is for anyone who wants to deepen body-communication through being present and the quality of “touch”.
In short, Watsu’s qualities of presence in the moment, unconditional holding, and loving care are brought onto land, thereby creating sensations of deep contentment and safe relaxation. As such, Tantsu offers an opportunity to open the door to a new level of wellness and healing. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.
