This
course focuses on the Basics of Watsu, as in Tai Chi or Yoga Pranayama,
one is grounded in stance while floating and stretching someone
to the rhythm of the connected breaths. You will be led through
a simple but complete form. You can take this course to deepen your
meditation, your relationship to water, your connection to others.
There will be no pressure to 'learn' the form, but those who choose
to, can follow this with the Transition Flow that expands this Basic
Flow to complete a Watsu 1.
As in each stage of our program, the form learned has its own organic
unity and can be repeated over and over without losing its freshness
or benefits for both giver and receiver. There is a total of 16
hours in this course where you will experience the stillness that
is the ground of presence and incorporate the way the heart and
breath connection can be maintained throughout a Watsu as well as
explore the many levels of your being that the Watsu is helping
you access in the warm 97 degree purified mineral water.
This class can be taken toward practitioner license
with WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association).
Fee for class is $500 or $350.
(Must be full-time student for this discounted rate).
Please send payment to hold your space one month prior, as class
size is limited.

Watsu
2
(Credit of 50 hours)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
Diane Feingold, Assistant Instructor
This
50 hour course is designed for those interested in expanding the
principals from Watsu 1. (A pre-requisite)
Watsu 2 expands the Transition Flow taught in Watsu 1. We learn
additional moves and bodywork in each position, how to incorporate
the movements as needed. We learn about the meridians and points
in Watsu and how to explore & follow client's tendency to move
and how to creatively explore our own movements.
Practicing the pointwork, the lifts, the pushes and pulls introduced
at this stage, helps develop the ability to explore and play with
energy. Because the repertoire has increased to this level and there
is so much to work & play with, it is recommended that one practices
many sessions before going on to Watsu 3 or another form.
This
class can be taken toward practitioner license hours.
Fee for class is $975.
Check payable to "Diane Feingold".

WaterDance 1
(Credit of 50 hours)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
Richard Bock, Instructor
Diane Feingold, Assistant Instructor
Prerequisites:
Watsu 1 or the Basic Watsu with Diane above...
(This may be changed to a WaterDance 3 depending on the incoming
requests. In that case the prerequisites include the above plus
WaterDance 1 & 2)
Waterdance (or "Wassertanzen", the original German name)
is a form of aquatic bodywork developed by Arjana Brunschwiler and
Aman Schroter in 1987. Like Watsu, it begins with the client held
in the practitioner's arms above the surface of the water, where
the body is cradled, stretched, and relaxed. In Waterdance, the
client is then given nose clips and gradually and gently taken entirely
under the water. Once freed from the bounds of head support and
gravity, the client's body can be moved, stretched, and worked in
literally unlimited ways. Waterdance incorporates elements of massage,
Aikido, dolphin and snake movements, rolls, somersaults, inversions,
dance, and much more. The effects of this work include deep physical
release and can induce deep states of relaxation, meditation, bliss,
and even visions. A prerequisite for participating in Waterdance
classes is that you have training in Watsu or other forms of above-surface
aquatic bodywork.
In Waterdance 1 we explore the art of breath connection that enables
you to establish a deep rapport with your clients, inspire their
trust and offer the attentiveness that is necessary when bringing
someone below the water's surface. You learn the Waterdance short
form which includes learning to establish a rhythm that works with
each client's breathing needs and to move all body types through
the water with security, ease and graceful fluidity, giving the
receiver a profound sense of freedom and joy.
Fee
for class is $975.
Please send $525 deposit fee by June 1st to hold your space as the
class size is limited.
Check payable to "Diane Feingold".

Healing Dance
(Credit of 50 hours)
Santa Barbara Watsu Center
Hosted
by Diane
Taught by Inika Spence
Healing Dance is a powerful and beautiful technique developed by
Alexanderin 1993, incorporating elements of Watsu, WaterDance, Trager
Work, and dance. It consists of four trainings, Basic Healing Dance,
Advanced HealingDance and the two underwater trainings-Above and
Below and Shape and Space.The Healing Dance is primarily based on
wave movements for the entire body,and also includes quiet embraces,
releases, tractions, smooth transitions and massage, all woven together
in an unending flow. The guiding philosophy of the work is that
movement is the "medicine" and in the experience of"received
dance" the healing process in the body is activated. Students
learn to create the sensation of lightness and flying, to generate
a rhythmic field, to find the various "rhythms of awareness"
for clients and even to channel movement. Physical and emotional
blockages are resolved in the polarity between freedom and security.
Advanced body mechanics are taught to create movements of greater
subtlety and sensitivity. As the vocabulary of movements expands
students become more confident to improvise and better respond to
the needs of the client. healingdance.org is the official web site
of Healing Dance.
Fee
for class is $975.
Please send $500 deposit fee to hold your space one month prior
as the class size is limited.
