Woga® 1 & 2 (Yoga in Water) with Dariya
2017-09-18 - 2017-09-19 | Quiet Healing Center, India
A 2-day intensive.
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. Dariya
WABA facilitator, has been sharing her 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, her main focus is to create spaces for flow, deepening and connection. Timings: 9 AM – 6 PM
Price: Rs 5,950 (lunch included)

Water & Dance with Dariya & Daniel
2017-09-16 - 2017-09-17
A 2-day celebration for ALL lovers of movement and flow.
We will playfully explore and express ourselves through movement and dance on land and in warm water, on our own, with partners and in group. From self-connection to allowing movements to emerge, no one deciding where to go, the doors open for non-verbal communication and deep sharing… Connecting on land to our deeper longings, we give the body permission to find its own way of expression and possibly contacting others. Warm water with its sense of weightlessness and fluidity invites us to let go and experiment with our own organic and fluid way of movement.
Let’s celebrate this journey together! Dariya (as WABA facilitator) & Daniel

Watsu® & Meditation with Dariya
2017-09-14 - 2017-09-15
A 2-day intensive.
Meditation is an important tool to listen, accept and know ourselves, and to become more intuitive towards ourselves and others. The purpose of meditation – besides the physical and psychological benefits – is to build a connection with our soul and with the divine in and around us, in whichever spiritual or religious form we prefer to understand.
It also encourages the development of our intuition and perception through the heart and not only through the rational mind. This permits us, in certain life situations, to operate on a higher level and make better choices. Meditation helps us essentially to develop our capacity for personal introspection and is the basis for our ability to listen to the person we float in our arms during a Watsu session. In this way we can work with a genuine empathy, thereby stimulating the flow of subtle energy. Dariya

Somatic Movement with Maggie
2017-09-02 - 2017-09-03
A 2-day neuromuscular re-education (mind-body training) intensive in the tradition of Thomas Hanna.
Somatics is a system of slow mindful movements. It is a gentle, easy and effective way to help you manage chronic and acute pain. Other benefits include more ease in the body, better posture and deep relaxation. It teaches you to recognize, release and reverse chronic pain patterns resulting from injury, stress, or habituated postures. We will begin with a short introduction – what Somatics is, why it’s unique and how it works, and then experience a variety of fun, easy and gentle movements designed to help you create a deeper sense of awareness as to the places where you hold tension in your body.
At the end of the session there will be time for questions and a review of specific movements which can be practiced at home.
Handouts of the home practice will be given.

Watsu® & OBA® Basic with Dariya & Daniel
2017-09-01 - 2017-09-06
An intensive 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 OBA 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 intensive, 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 intensive often appreciate the group space, which fosters deep, meaningful and nurturing connections. Dariya (as WABA facilitator) & Daniel have been sharing their passion for aquatic bodywork with groups since 2004.
