Water Journey: The Art of Watsu and Healing Dance

Water Journey: The Art of Watsu and Healing Dance
Aquatic Bodywork is among the most nurturing and transformative therapies, easing physical tension, clearing the mind, soothing the heart.
ABOUT WATSU & HEALING DANCE
The original form of aquatic bodywork was developed as a form of shiatsu in the water (Watsu) and evolved into various approaches, including Healing Dance aquatic bodywork.
Healing Dance departs from the static origins of Watsu with new movement and dimensionality. The therapist travels and glides through the water, dancing the receiver through space, tracing waves, spirals, and figure eights. Healing Dance elegantly waves the receiver’s body through the water, offering new mobility in the spine and joints throughout the body.
The Healing Dance approach of waving the body is also excellent for releasing holding of a psychological origin, often leading to a deeper emotional release beyond physical freedom.
Movement, like medicine, is carefully dosed, is intermixed with restful pauses in quiet positional sanctuaries to allow for integration of its effects. In stillness, the receiver feels the psychological reverberations of the movement in their being, a moment to expand into oneself while being safely held.
