Watsu® CLINICS/Masterclass -1

The objective of this course is to increase and hone your technical skills to the maximum.

The first part is focused on improving the “presence” of the Giver.

We will review and perfect the head support technique with the objective of dramatically improving your ability to provide a smooth, soft and silky support, which at the same time is safe, provides unprecedented alignment and facilitates freedom of the receiver while remaining unperceived as a giver.

We will review some essentials of anatomy and physiology of the breath to expand your awareness of the importance of being able to follow our receiver’s breath along the whole session. Applying the newest and most refined technical minutiae you will improve your ability to perceive, connect and follow -or whenever needed, drive- the breath of any receiver, from the very first moment of their floatation, till the end of the session, thus creating a more solid basis for your “Presence” as a Watsu Practitioner.

The second part of the course is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of your Watsu sessions. We will analyze the objective of the main movements of Watsu-1, observing how the effect on the receiver’s body changes as the movement is done in different ways. We will notice their pro- and contras- depending on the specific physical condition of the receiver, thus increasing your awareness and ability to adapt your style to the true needs of the client.

You will get to practice till getting a seamless flow.

In the third part of the course we will introduce the use of aids (noodles and pillows) that will allow you to work effortlessly also in those situations where – due to greater size of the receiver, or his/hers tensions or physical limitations – it would be very challenging to apply the standard transitions taught in W-1 or W-2.

We will care to have you integrate the most effective body mechanics. This will guarantee that you will keep your own body safe so that you will be able to share your Watsu for many, many years.

You will have several opportunities to work one-on-one with the instructors, receiving from them and giving them sessions, subsequently receiving their valuable feedback! These didactics allows to further deepen the knowledge and to discover the finest details and tricks to offer a 5-stars Watsu-1 session.

NB:- the CLINICS is very valuable both as preparatory to W-2, and as a Continuing Education Workshop for Licensed Practitioner.

- The group is limited to guarantee greater attention to the specific needs of each student.
