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.
