Watsu

Sarah offering Watsu at the Strawberry Park Hot Springs, CO

Watsu, short for Water Shiatsu, is a form of aquatic bodywork.  It is a moving meditation performed in a body temperature pool of water.  In this style, you wear floats on your legs and I support your head and neck so your nose never enters the water.  I bring your body through a sequence of movement, stillness, and stretching.  While you are floating horizontally, I apply shiatsu techniques to stimulate specific pressure points along the energy pathways of your body. The combination of the practice of shiatsu in a womb-like aquatic environment has sometimes been characterized as "therapeutic rebirth". This release of old physical, mental and emotional tension has profound and lasting healing effects. 

I only offer Watsu at Strawberry Park Hot Springs.
