The beginning of the year was lovely with great week of culturals by my students. It was a successful week with great participation, enthusiasm, late night works, last minute works, practice, preparations & competition. The students grabbed it all with great thirst for fun. It was followed by a lovely dinner party, though girls joined in late, but they added the charm to the party;-). There were old students who shared few words with us on stage and made the evening worthwhile. Tasty Dinner was followed by touching moments of happiness, joy, fun, behind the scences presentation that made us feel to have it all over again. This was immediately followed by my Watsu 1 at pondy, As I rushed quickly i fell sick and did not know whether i could do the course, but later all things fell in place and was in the water enjoying it like never before. At 34 degrees, it is a inviting experience. The teachers Gianni & Xavier made a great pair in teaching the sequences for us & made it appear easy. Before I could realize it came to an end with a testing celebration session. While I came back from it to reality, it was time again to go for watsu 2!! wow, I could not wait to get back again. This had more moves as expanded flows with watsu 1. This time pressure was on all the students as we had to remember the sequence without looking at the pool charts, the reason being, to go to the next level we had to prove our mastery over watsu 2 on our dear teacher Gianni. So I spent the evenings meditating & remembering all the moves. The week passed by, with us also having fun in the water. We all had become well acquainted with each other. The sessions were photographed by Ireno A wonderful photographer who captured the moves of watsu & made them appear like painting on water. The day came for proving our mastery, first I recieved a wonderful session from Gianni, that calmed my nerves & relaxed my mind. The session went well with some mistakes but luckily they were small ones. Gianni gave a good feedback & said I have passed the mastery of Watsu 2 & am eligible for watsu 3!!!. Wow the feeling was elating. I was looking forward for Watsu 3 as it was Harold Dull, the founder of Watsu. The two week of watsu 1 & watsu 2, was great fun, great experience, with great group & with lovely teachers. The week ended with A dinner gathering of all the participants & we departed with words of keeping in touch with water. :-)
