AQUATIC BODYWORK TRAINING
AT MIMPI MENJANGAN HOT SPRINGS RESORT, NW BALI
NOV/DEC 2011
Overview
Learning to float friends and loved ones can be one of the one of the greatest joys you will experience.
In these spacious but dedicated days together we will learn the essential techniques for floating beloveds and friends safely and artfully in the water.
Our training pool is a beautiful hot spring perched next to the sea. The course is largely hands-on and we will be spending a large part of the time in the hot springs itself. Additionally, we learn through a combination of still and moving meditations, discussions, and other land-based experiences.
These are fun and focused days dedicated to experiential learning. Come up earlier or stay longer if you want to experience diving or snorkelling, local excursions, or days lazing by the pool or in the hot springs.
As much as a training, consider the course as a healing journey and a celebration of yourself.
Course Options
Since its beginnings in Watsu, aquatic bodywork has taken many forms. We will be learning the approach characteristic of Healing Dance Aquatic Bodywork (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association WABA recognised.)
Michael will be offering three levels of training: 16 hours, 50 hours, or 100 hours courses. All courses are certified by the Healing Dance Institute and lead towards certification in Healing Dance.
Introduction to Healing Dance (16 hrs)
Saturday/Sunday/Monday 19/20/21 November
Introduction to Healing Dance provides the basis for floating friends and loved ones blissfully in your arms.
This is a certified Healing Dance course that also serves as a prerequisite for future training should you decide to become a Healing Dance Practitioner.
Aquatic Basics (50 hrs)
Saturday 19 November- Saturday 26 November
Aquatic Basics picks up where the Introduction leaves off. We learn a complete routine with more creative and experimental moves, including “noodle and collar” flotation, hydrodynamic waves, flowing transitions, releases and nurturing holds.
This is a certified Healing Dance course that leads towards Spa Provider Certification.
Spa Provider Certification (100 hrs)
Aquatic Basics (50 hrs)
Saturday 19 November – Saturday 26 November
(Break)
Healing Dance Essentials (50 hrs)
Monday 28 November – Monday December 5
The Spa Provider Certification expands on Aquatics Basics, with a further 50 hours of Healing Dance Essentials. We learn a more elaborate sequence including favorites such as the Matador, Vortex, and Pegasus, as well as further waves, figure eights, releases, holds, and massage. The range of techniques learned provides the confidence and flexibility to deliver an amazing session for any-body. For those employed by a spa with a license to touch, completion of this training (including 20 logged practice sessions and an instructor supervised session) certifies you to give professional Healing Dance sessions in a spa or clinic.
For independent providers who wish to become Healing Dance Practitioners, a further 50 hours and Integration Day with an Instructor is required for Practitioner status.
