Aquatic bodywork

To float, to be held unconditionally by water. The aquatic world offers a fluid expanse for both mind and body. 

Watsu is a passive form of aquatic bodywork therapy performed in warm water and is an invitation to surrender. The body is gently guided into various shapes to stretch muscles and joints whilst acupressure is applied to soften mental and physical tensions. Water presents us with the unique quality of hydrostatic pressure which not only buoys our bodies but gently presses the skin and musculature. This stimulates our blood circulation and decompresses our joints. The nervous system responds by increasing the relaxation and healing responses.
