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.

In this 34-hour course, you will learn to connect the basic movements and positions you have learnt in Watsu Basic with long, gracefully flowing transitions. 

You will also learn to adapt this bodywork to people of different sizes, shapes, and dispositions, and to adjust your own body mechanics in order to support and move each person as effortlessly as possible. 

On land, you will be introduced to both Co-Centering and Tantsu, and explore what it means to be held for yourself and others. 

By the end of this course, you will have learnt the complete Watsu 1 sequence for further practice sessions till you feel ready to move on to Watsu 2.

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). 

Credits: Woga 1&2 (Yoga in Water) gives 12 supplementary hours of credit for registration as international Watsu practitioner within the Watsu India learning program. 

Timings: 8.45 am – 6.00 pm 

Price: ₹ 12,000 (lunch included)
