Watsu is an aquatic bodywork modality given in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C).

In this course, you’ll practice basic techniques and qualities (such as grounding, presence, stillness, movement, attention) to be with another person in water. You’ll 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 (also not being able to swim!)

Developed by Kaya Femerling & Nirvano Martina Schulz, OBA is a deeply relaxing aquatic therapy modality, which takes place in a warm water pool (ideally 35°C). 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 water. Especially designed movements allow your whole spine to swing and energy to flow again.

In this 50-hour course, we’ll approach water in a playful and friendly way. You’ll learn working on cushions and floats, on the surface, and under water.

OBA 1 is mainly an underwater course, inviting you to experience the nurturing qualities of being held and to rediscover trust, peace within yourself, and a sense of coming home again. At the end of this course, you ‘ll be able to offer friends and acquaintances an enriching OBA session.

Prerequisites: OBA Basic or equivalent course
