Description
  • WATSU� is the first form of Aquatic Bodywork. Harold Dull began developing it in 1980 floating his Zen Shiatsu students in the warm pool at Harbin Hot Springs applying its stretches and moves. In the years since, with the help of countless others in classes, clinics and spas around the world, Watsu has evolved into what many consider the most profound development in bodywork in our time. While other modalities are based on touch, the holding that working in water necessitates, brings the receiver to a new level of connection and trust. This, combined with the therapeutic benefits of warm water and the greater freedom of movement it encourages, creates a modality that can effect every level of our being.

    WABA, an educational non-profit, is dedicated to making the benefits of both giving and receiving Aquatic Bodywork available to everybody. It owns the school at Harbin and maintains the Registry of the Worldwide Water Family, recording classes taken everywhere, making it possible for students to study wherever they want and fulfill the requirements to be listed on the Registry as a practitioner, etc.
