WATSU® is a passive form of aquatic bodywork during which the receiver, are floated, massaged and stretched whilst being supported by the water and the practitioner.
Slow, rhythmic, graceful and supportive movements invite your body and mind to sink deep into a meditative, relaxing state during which cell repair and regeneration is stimulated.

- WATSU® body mechanics,
- Unique WATSU® movements,
- Head support,
- Keeping your receiver comfortable and safe,
