OBA 1 Fluid Body with Fred
August 13 - August 18
A 6-day course on the surface and under water.
“Dive into the wonderful world of memories, where we, as embryos in the protective belly of our mother, floated, surrounded by warm water. Dive into a weightless world and explore a timeless vastness, feeling free and secure”.
In this first 50-hour OBA course, we will continue to approach water in a playful, friendly and secure way. You will build upon the basic movements you already learnt in OBA Basic and further explore the various techniques of this wonderful aquatic bodywork.
You will learn the three phases of an OBA session: working on cushions and floats and working both on the surface and under water.
Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired enough material to offer a basic OBA practice session to friends and family.
More about Oceanic Bodywork@ Aqua (OBA):
Developed by Kaya Femerling & Nirvano Martina Schulz, OBA is a deeply relaxing form of aquatic therapy, which takes place in a warm water pool.
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 the water surface. Specially designed movements allow your whole spine to swing and energy to flow again.
This form of aquatic therapy invites you to experience the healing energies of water in a new way. Chronic physical pain as well as emotional tensions can be released. Special positions may remind you of how you felt to be held as a child.
You might dive into a wondrous world of memories, of floating weightlessly in the protective womb of your mother, of diving right back into that very space where you were surrounded by soft warm water.
OBA invites you to experience again the nurturing qualities of being held and loved, and to rediscover trust, peace within yourself, and a sense of coming home.
