Basic Watsu®
(16 hours CEU credit AMTA)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
with Diane Feingold,
WABA licensed Watsu®/ WaterDance Therapist
Basic Watsu® / WRT Water Release Therapist® and Instructor.

All classes can be taken with WRT Water Release Therapy®

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. One is led through a simple and complete form. This course may be taken to deepen your meditation, your relationship to water, your connection to others. There will be no pressure to 'learn' the form, however, those who choose to, can follow this with the 'Transition Flow' that expands this Basic Flow to complete a Watsu® Level-1 and/or follow this with the WRT Water Release Therapy 'Provider' Certification Training.

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 Training can be taken toward practitioner license with WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and/or taken to toward WRT Water Release Therapy® 'Provider' Certification with WRTB (Water Release Therapy Board and AMTA American Massage Association).

WRT Water Release Therapy® 'Provider' Training Level 1
( 36 hrs. CEU credit WRTB and AMTA, includes Basic Watsu®)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
with Diane Feingold

Designed to help us explore and embrace the grace of being present with the breath, the heart, the continuous unfolding of the moment, Yogic stretching, Somatic Movement and Stillness. When one is fully present with mind, body, emotions and breath we can experience the deepest connection of wholeness and oneness on all levels of our being. Through this connection, our work (on land or in the water) becomes a practice of being whole in the world. Learn to discover what we are made of.

Diane's sensitivity toward various learning styles offers the student a supportive and compassionate environment of ease.

As part of the training students are asked to 'Receive' a HED Human Energy Design Reading which allows the willing student options for healing both personally and professionally.

This 36 hour WRT 'Provider' Training Level 1 (Basic Watsu taken Concurrently) may be taken toward WRT Water Release Therapy® 'Provider' Certification and Watsu® Practitioner licence hours.

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.

Presence of Being
(Credit of 50 hours)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
Richard Bock, Instructor
Diane Feingold, Assistant Instructor

Designed to help us explore and embrace the grace of presence: the continuous unfolding of the "mysterious moment" when one is fully present with mind, body, emotions and breath. From here, we can experience the deepest connection on all levels in whatever setting. Through this connection, our work (on land or in the water) becomes a practice of being rather than doing. Class open to all, no previous experience necessary.

WaterDance 1
(Credit of 50 hours)
Healing Waters, Santa Barbara, CA
Richard Bock, Instructor
Diane Feingold, Assistant Instructor

Prerequisites:
Basic Watsu® and/or WRT Water Release Therapy® Level 1
with Diane.

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.

Basic Healing Dance
(Credit of 50 hours)
Healing Waters, Santa Santa Barbara, CA

Hosted by Diane
Taught by Inika Sati 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 andeven to channel movement. Physical and emotional blockages are resolved in the polarity between freedom and security. Advanced body mechanics aretaught 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.
