You are floated in warm water with your eyes closed to draw your senses inwards to aid relaxation. Your nose is out of water free to breath.
Your body is then massaged with acupressure and stretched in dance like movements to create an experience that is unique and often beyond words. With the water as your support and no restriction of a table or floor your body has the freedom to move with greater fluidity than on land, inducing a much deeper mental and physical relaxation. The beautiful salt-water Watsu pool invites you to experience a therapy not-to-be-missed.
