OBA 1 Fluid Body with Fred
2026-10-20 - 2026-10-25 | Quiet Healing Center, India
A 6-day course on the surface and under water. “Dive into the wonderful world of memories, where we, as embryos in the protective belly of our mother, floated, surrounded by warm water. Dive into a weightless world and explore a timeless vastness, feeling free and secure”.
In this first 50-hour OBA course, we will continue to approach water in a playful, friendly and secure way. You will build upon the basic movements you already learnt in OBA Basic and further explore the various techniques of this wonderful aquatic bodywork. You will learn the three phases of an OBA session: working on cushions and floats and working both on the surface and under water.
Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired enough material to offer a basic OBA practice session to friends and family. More about Oceanic Bodywork@ Aqua (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.
It combines elements of soft stretching movements, aquatic deep tissue massage, and joint release, as well as energy and breath work in a unique way above and below the water surface. Specially designed movements allow your whole spine to swing and energy to flow again.
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.
OBA invites you to experience again the nurturing qualities of being held and loved, and to rediscover trust, peace within yourself, and a sense of coming home. Prerequisites: OBA Basic or WaterDance Fundamental or Watsu 1 or Healing Dance 1.
Credits: OBA 1 is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 50 hours of credits for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

WaterDance Fundamental with Roberto
2026-10-26 - 2026-10-31
In this course, we will focus on three fundamental aspects of WaterDance: vertical grounding, posture of both giver and receiver, and the breath.
The key movement is Water Breath Dance, in which you will float someone in your arms allowing them to gently sink as they exhale and rising with them as you both inhale. This creates a profound connection that carries through all other surface and underwater movements.
Throughout the course, you will also learn in a playful and yet attentive way how to bring your partner under water (with a nose clip). Sufficient time will also be given for integrating fears or apprehensions to go under water. In addition, you will learn and practice the basic WaterDance movements, which form the essential core of this powerful aquatic-bodywork modality.
On land, various tools such as guided meditations, body & energy work, active breathing exercises, and practising effective communication skills will offer opportunities for connecting deeper with yourself and others.
Prerequisites: No previous experience required.

WaterDance 1 with Roberto
2026-11-02 - 2026-11-07

WaterDance (also known as WATA or WasserTanzen) is a dynamic, mind- and playful movement therapy. It was developed by Peter Schröter and Arjana C. Brunschwiler in the late 80s.

Through practice with diverse body types, we’ll learn to adapt our technique, cultivating greater safety, fluidity, and poetic expression in our movements.
By guiding our partners underwater using kumbhaka (breath retention from Pranayama), we invite them into deep states of relaxation, inner silence, freedom, and joy. Any fears related to immersion are welcomed with presence and compassion.
We will learn the “short form,” comprising more than 20 distinct positions and movements. Special emphasis will be placed on creating a safe, gentle, and fluid environment to foster a sense of freedom and joy.

Tantsu® 1 with Keli Procopio
2026-12-12 - 2026-12-17
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.

HDUB is a 5 day course that specifically prepares you to take Shape & Space and Above & Below, the two major underwater trainings of Healing Dance. The transition to submerging receivers rather than merely supporting them on the surface entails learning several skills before one can take a receiver safely underwater. The fundamentals covered in the course include how to
a) read the breath precisely;
b) signal appropriately;
c) offer and remove the nose clip;
d) unweight the head on submerging;
e) give the head freedom underwater;
f) gauge the amount of time spent underwater;
g) maintain the absolute space;
h) soften the hands in grips;
i) use one’s weight and breath to create deep movements;
j) travel in the pool, and
k) pre-support the head on surfacing.
Participants learn a surface warm-up followed by a sequence of thirteen submergings arranged in an order that could be used in a session. A written and photo manual are provided and an MP4 of the sequence is made available. This is a core course in the Underwater Practitioner Certification.
It is 42 hours in length over 5 days and serves as a prerequisite to Shape & Space or Above & Below.

Prerequisites: Healing Dance 1 or Watsu 1.
Credits: Healing Dance Underwater Basics is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 42 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!

2027-01-02 - 2027-01-03
A 2-day course on the surface only.
Watsu is an aquatic bodywork modality given in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C).
Watsu, 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.
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 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 client and to each session.
In this course, 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, thereby creating space for deep relaxation and nurturing body, mind and spirit.
Participants in this course often appreciate the group space, which fosters deep, meaningful and nurturing connections. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.

Emotional Process for Watsu® with Keli Procopio
2027-01-04 - 2027-01-06
Practicing WATSU® offers the opportunity to experience deep emotions and explore hidden needs, fears, and desires. While water has the power to dissolve tensions and traumas crystallized in the body, fully accessing its healing force requires that every session takes place within a climate of welcome, containment, and safety. Navigating emotions—recognizing and welcoming them within a safe and supportive flow—is a core competence for every practitioner.
The professional’s role is to create a protected space. To do this, technical skill must merge with a natural capacity for empathic listening. This course invites students to meet their own inner world and that of others, transforming sensitivity into a tool for conscious work. Methodology
Through a continuous alternation between land and water, the module includes:
• Body-based and imaginative exercises
• Role plays and dramatizations
• Group sharing
The aim is to learn how to respond with integrity to dynamics that emerge in session: How do I react to another’s emotion? How do I feel when I am not trusted? What is my response in the face of criticism or emotional dependency? Sharing these experiences helps the student become more aware and confident, able to authentically support another human being on their growth journey.
Objectives
• Deep Listening: Tuning into the receiver’s subtle frequencies
• Ecological Communication: Expressing and listening while respecting the other’s space
• Relationship and Interview: Managing verbal contact before and after the session
• Chemistry and Energy of Emotions: Understanding how the body processes feeling
• Emotional Regulation: Practical tools to maintain one’s “center” during the work Prerequisites: Watsu 1.
Credits: Emotional Process for Watsu is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 25 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Healing Dance® Above & Below with Ashaman
2027-01-07 - 2027-01-12
This class is designed to bring the principles of Healing Dance® into the underwater experience.
Maintaining flow above and below the surface is integral; the material explores how to smooth out the moment of submerging and surfacing. When rhythm, movement shape and body position are pre-set at the surface, the receiver experiences a less radical change at the moment of submerging. The coursework begins taking WATSU’s Basic Moves underwater and extends this idea to the whole session, introducing a variety of takedown moves from the repertoire of Healing Dance. From the feedback of practitioners working with Above & Below we know that it is indeed making going under possible for people previously unable to allow themselves to be submerged.
Taking the moves below the surface becomes a fluid dance, bringing the receiver to a place where there is no need to breathe and bringing the giver to a joy in movement and presence.
This class offers a copious toolbox of moves that are simple, elegant and intriguing to enrich your experience in the underwater world.
A written and photo manual are provided and an MP4 of the sequence is made available.
This is a core course in the Underwater Practitioner Certification. It is 50 hours in length over 6 days and may be taken before or after Shape & Space.

Prerequisites: Healing Dance 1 plus Healing Dance Underwater Basics or WaterDance 1.
Credits: Healing Dance Above & Below is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 50 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Cosmic Child with Nirvano
2027-01-27 - 2027-02-01
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 Fire & Earth is a unique synthesis of bodywork that combines elements of massage, dance, singing, and energy work with plant wisdom. It provides stability, grounding, joy, and serenity.
Inspired by traditional Hawaiian temple massage, indigenous ways, and natural forces, Oceanic Bodywork Fire & Earth was developed by Nirvano. She integrates dance from various cultures, rhythmic movement, dynamic and quiet live music, singing, and silence with deep tissue massage, soft touch, and energy work. Years of experience, seminars, training, and studies with indigenous people have contributed to its development.
A core component of Oceanic Bodywork Fire & Earth is Hawaiian Bodywork, rooted in ancient Hawaii and handed down by Kahunas and the Hawaiian temple massage tradition. It incorporates Rebalancing® bodywork techniques, joint release, energy work, newly developed massage techniques, and herbal treatments for a holistic approach.
Oceanic Bodywork Fire & Earth combines long flowing massage strokes with hands and upper arms, deep tissue massage, gentle joint release, dynamic energy work, and the use of hot volcanic stones. This full-body massage, performed by one or two people, is paired with breathing techniques that support the giver’s intuition. The bodyworker is encouraged to dance around the massage table with drumming and soft music, maintaining physical contact with the receiving partner.
This combination of massage, breathing, dancing, music, and songs can evoke deep memories and promote a state of deep mental and physical relaxation, reconnecting the individual with the oneness of nature. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.

Ai Chi Basic with Gianni De Stefani & Prashanth C.G.
2027-02-27
Ai Chi (Aquatic Tai Chi) is a total body relaxation and strengthening progression used for aquatic therapy. This aquatic technique is characterised by slow movement coordinated with deep breathing.
.

Ai Chi consists of 19 movements or katas, performed while breathing at a rate of about 14-16 breaths per minute. The first six arm movements are based on Qi Gong, with a relatively static and symmetrical body posture. The subsequent movements are based on Tai Chi, with continuous shifting of the center of gravity. The progression moves through a series of “regulatory conditions” of increasing difficulty, from static to dynamic, symmetrical to rotatory and asymmetrical movement, and visual to non-visual (vestibular) control. More on Ai Chi – Aquatic Tai Chi
Created in the early 1990s by Jun Konno, former coach of the Japanese Olympic swimming team and director of the renowned Aqua Dynamic Institute in Yokohama, Ai Chi brings the flowing principles of Tai Chi into warm water at 33–34°C.
Through slow, rhythmic and circular movements coordinated with the breath, Ai Chi promotes deep relaxation, body awareness, and a sense of inner balance. The gentle resistance and support of the water encourage us to become more attentive to our physical sensations, emotions, and inner experience. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.
Credits: Ai Chi Basic gives 8 hours of credit as a supplemental class for WABA and Watsu India.
