Watsu

Watsu is a unique form of aquatic bodywork that is practiced in a warm pool environment. Small floats are used to keep the body buoyant, helping to create a thermal and gravitational state of homeostasis in which the receiver’s external experience is aligned with our body’s internal state. As a result, attention turns inward, the breath deepens, the mind becomes quiet, and the body finds its own unique organic pattern of movement. This generates an extraordinary sense of well-being, where heart, body, and emotion are brought into a state of coherence.

With Watsu, the client is supported by the practitioner and the experience is profoundly personal; the eyes typically close, the ears under water do not track for sound, and the brain wave patterns deepen to an alpha state similar to that of meditation.

In the Watsu pool, what is unnecessary disolves and falls away, while what is important rises to the surface of your awareness.
