Before attending a Watsu class, make sure
the instructor and the class are listed on the
Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association
(WABA) Registry at www.watsu.com. Only
classes listed there can be applied to practitioner
authorizations. The registry has helped hold our
water family together.
Three 50-hour classes make up the core of the
Watsu program around the world:
• Watsu 1 introduces the Basic Watsu moves and
the Transition Flow that can be attended as
separate classes.
• Watsu 2 expands what can be done in the
Transition Flow.
• Watsu 3 introduces Advanced Moves
and Free Flow.
The WABA Board of Directors has authorized
trained Watsu practitioners to share the Watsu
Round paradigm in a four-hour course with the
public as another way to draw more people to the
work.
To view the full programs and the schedule of
classes, go to www.watsu.com.
Watsu Training
The Watsu Round, shown in the top photo, is perfect for drawing more people into Watsu in a smaller
setting. Below, the stretch that's initiated in Watsu is able to reach deeper because of both the
meditative state and the warm water medium.
