The
Maharani Lounge
Springtime 2012 - Dates to be announced
A luxurious pampering retreat for mermaids.
In Praise of the Maharani Lounge, by J'nelle Holland
Imagine that you’re floating in a warm dark pool with twinkling lights bouncing off the water, fragrant rose petals floating by and Tibetan bowls vibrating round you, while a Watsu master is moving your body in flowing dimensions of relaxation! After, you dine on a sumptuous Ayurvedic meal, entertained by three musicians and a fire dancer in front of a larger-than-life statue of Ganesh… Would you not feel like a princess in a romantic myth?
That’s exactly how I felt during my day at the Maharani Lounge, which included, authentic dance, meditative crafts, cooking class, storytelling, gifts and so much more. And, all this takes place in a Santa Barbara landmark sculpture-of-a-home that’s rarely open to the public.
If you’re overworked, under appreciated, needing a restorative experience or just worthy of being pampered, this is the place for you! Don’t miss the next Maharani Lounge.

Aqua Natal classes have been a highlight of my pregnancy. I really enjoyed the stretching and water exercise in the wonderful warm saltwater pool." I met other pregnant moms to be and learned how to give and receive the deep relaxation of watsu massage.
Ninaya is a wonderful teacher, she offers exercises that are good for labor, she has been doing watsu massage for a long time and offers suggestions we practice on our partner and she shares a lot of wisdom from her 2 pregnancy experiences.
I highly recommend pregnant women add Aqua Natal to their must attend classes". DeAnn W.
