Ancient Vedic Healing Workshop with Swami Omkar
2026-01-24 - 2026-01-25
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

Watsu® Yoga Round with Tamara

Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ Module 1 with Elisa Muñoz Blanco
2026-03-04 - 2026-03-09
Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ was developed in 2010 by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, after years of study, research, and clinical practice. Originally described as a powerful yet subtle technique to balance the Craniosacral Rhythm (CSR) and release restrictions in the connective tissue, it leverages the unique properties of the aquatic environment to support healing. Over time, it became clear that this work is more than a method — it’s a concept. It offers a flexible, client-centered approach for therapists, students, and practitioners seeking a deeply intuitive and responsive healing framework.
This approach blends elements of WATSU®, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Manual Therapy, and Myofascial Induction Therapy® (MIT®). The goal is to:
• Enhance neuroception and interoception.
• Restore healthy craniosacral function.
• Release connective tissue restrictions.
• Re-establish the body’s hydrodynamic balance.
Through gentle, intentional touch and fluid movement, both client and therapist embark on a shared journey. Together, they follow the body’s natural rhythms and spontaneous responses in an atmosphere of deep listening and presence. Key Principles:
• Support subtle physiological rhythms.
• Respect physical limits and spontaneous movements.
• Maintain a state of “being with” the patient, rather than “doing to”.
• Offer an environment for surrender, safety, and trust.
The aquatic setting provides constant support, elongation, and alignment, allowing for deeper, three-dimensional tissue releases that are often unattainable on land.
Course Overview: Module 1 (50 Hours)
This is the first module of the full 200-hour Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ Certification Program, which consists of three modules plus a clinical case study.
In Module 1, you will:
• Learn the fundamentals of the Craniosacral and Fascial systems.
• Develop skills in conscious touch, listening, and assessment.
• Identify and work with the subtle Craniosacral Rhythm.
• Gain techniques to release restrictions in key body areas.
You will also learn tools that can be immediately applied in your therapeutic practice. Prerequisites: open to health care professionals, health care students, or students enrolled in aquatic therapy training programs.
Credits: Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Participation issued by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, Director of the Watsupath™ Training Institute.
This course offers 50 hours of credits towards the Professional Training in Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ and elective credits for WATSU® under WABA and Watsu India.

In this supportive aquatic environment, patients naturally express changes in tissue mobility. As restrictions dissolve, their tissues regain elasticity and realign toward functional balance. The therapist’s role is to sensitively follow and support these shifts and create a safe space for healing.
Course Focus: Module 2 (50 Hours)
In this module, you will explore the body as an integrated whole —merging anatomy, physiology, and subtle energetic awareness. You’ll refine your therapeutic presence, develop advanced hands-on techniques, and learn to navigate the body’s inherent treatment plan with greater ease and precision.
This advanced training offers a deep dive into conscious touch, non-verbal communication, and somato-emotional processes. Through practice and observation, you’ll discover how to co-create an effective path back to health with your clients — an approach that reflects the future of integrative, body-centered therapies. By the end of this module, you will:
• Integrate Sutherland’s technique for identifying cranial lesions within the CST protocol.
• Enhance your ability to perform whole-body assessments of physiological responses.
• Learn to assess and treat cranial base dysfunctions.
• Apply principles of SomatoEmotional Release® to facilitate emotional healing alongside physical release.
• Deepen your listening, presence, and therapeutic intuition.
• Participate in hands-on sessions and observe skilled demonstrations. Prerequisites: CST in Water™ Module 1.
Credits: Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Participation issued by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, Director of the Watsupath™ Training Institute.
This course offers 50 hours of credits towards the Professional Training in Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ and elective credits for WATSU® under WABA and Watsu India.

Woga® 1&2 (Yoga in Water) with Prema & Tamara
2026-03-18 - 2026-03-19
A 2-day course.
Woga is a combination of two words: water and yoga. It is based on classic yoga poses and stretches, modified for standing in water that is waist-to-chest height. Woga focuses on Hatha Yoga in water, including asanas performed in standing position, against the wall, in floating position, and under water. The course also includes pranayama and meditation. Classes follow a structure similar to land-based yoga: breathing exercises, warm-ups, a series of poses, and a relaxation period. The key difference is that you are in a warm water pool! Swimming skills are not required.
By reducing the effects of gravity, water allows ease of movements, unblocks joints, lengthens and relaxes muscles, alleviates negative tensions, and prevents stress, insomnia and anxiety. Prerequisites: No previous experience required (also no need to know how to swim).

Tantsu® 1 with Xavier Boisson & Dariya
2026-03-26 - 2026-03-31
A 6-day intensive.
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 recognised 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.

Liquid Flow Deepening with Dariya & Daniel
2026-04-21 - 2026-04-27
A 7-day course, on the surface as well as under water. Liquid Flow Deepening is an extension of Liquid Flow Essence with a focus on process work and refinement of flow and touch, both on the surface and under water. It also includes free movement and contact dance in water as well as acquiring tools for deeper listening and expressing yourself with the help of compassionate communication. .
During previous courses, required as prerequisite to join this course, you have accumulated a wide spectrum of movements. Even though Liquid Flow Deepening offers some new material and variations of already known movements, it is basically about refining what is already there.
In addition, you’ll learn connecting deeper through working with the breath, sequencing your session, and finding your own combinations and adjustments according to your personal abilities and circumstances – away from right or wrong or perfect – to accommodate different sizes, shapes, and body types. You’ll also be encouraged to create your own sequences and movements, present them to other students, and learn from their creations. Ample practice time will be given, allowing you to refine the flow and smoothen transitions from one movement to another, while at the same time improving your quality of touch.
Also, learning to take your client under water without using a sign will allow you to establish a deeper connection.
A wide variety of practices offering possibilities for self-inquiry in groups of two or three, sharing in pairs and with the bigger circle, self-connecting meditations and movement-oriented practices alone and as a group. Tools will be offered for deeper listening, learning from feedback, and holding your own process and that of others. All this will hopefully lead to a better understanding of yourself and allow more empathy for your client’s process, thereby fostering personal healing for yourself as well as your client. Prerequisites: Liquid Flow Essence and Liquid Flow Essence Integration Day.
Credits: Liquid Flow Deepening gives 50 hours for the Watsu India Liquid Flow Provider Certification program. These hours are also registered on the international WABA registry.

Dariya (as WABA instructor) & 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: 9.00 am – 6.00 pm (plus one evening)
Price: ₹ 36,500 (lunch included)
