50 hours · No prerequisites
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Watsu 1 is a first approach to Watsu®, introducing its basic movements and positions through a form inspired by Tai Chi.
You will learn to remain grounded and connected to the breath while allowing the water to do the work. By continually returning to the Water Breath, you will discover the stillness that forms the foundation of presence.
You will then learn to connect the basic movements and positions through long, elegant and fluid transitions, adapting them to people of different sizes, shapes and individual needs.
You will also develop your body mechanics, learning how to support and move another person in the water with the least possible effort.
THE EXPERIENCE
Watsu 1 is learned through giving and receiving. In warm water, you will explore how breath, grounding, movement and stillness gradually come together into a continuous flow.
Rather than relying on strength, you will learn to trust the support of the water and use your own body efficiently while remaining connected to the receiver.
On land, you will discover Co-Centering and Tantsu, exploring and sharing what the experience of holding, supporting and being held can mean for yourself and for others.
