WATSU® is the first form of Aquatic Bodywork. Harold Dull began developing it in 1980 floating his Zen Shiatsu students in warm water 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 both the giver and the receiver to new levels 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. These effects that begin with your first class will continue down whatever Watsu path you follow, whether one of sharing with family and freinds, or a professional path, or one in which you explore with others the creative engagement of our life force in Watsu Free Flow. In 1980 Harold also began developing Tantsu to bring Watsu's nurturing whole body holding and stretching back onto land. It too has evolved into a modality with a creative potential that can be shared with anybody.
