Waterdance
Wassertanzen
This form of aquatic bodywork is similar to Watsu,
adding the element of going underwater. Establishing
a connection through focused presence with the breath
helps to create a powerful synchronicity of movement
therapy resembling a dance. Using noseplugs to access
below the water helps to gain three dimensional
freedom that expand the possibilities of therapeutic
benefit.
Being completely relaxed this feels different
than swimming, the motion comes from the therapist,
which is felt as a sensation of being guided through
the water, that some describe as very dolphinlike or
womblike. Underwater, the weightless suspension and
warm water relaxation helps to achieve full range of
motion that is not capable in gravity. The heartbeat
and breath are slowed as the session progresses,
increasing the length of time underwater, thus
creating a relaxed, blissful state. Connecting with a
persons breath and finding freedom in movement with
them is a very rejuvenating experience for me, I wish
to share this feeling with others.

Waterdance :
