Health and Fitness: Watsu

When I came to stay with Mike and Liliana Eldridge I didn’t know that I would be undertaking a professional photoshoot. Indeed I wasn’t aware of it until I had arrived at the Novidra Health and Beauty Centre and Gianni Girotto informed me that he was asking Michael and I to take images to publicise his Watsu practice.

According to MassageTherapy101.com “Watsu combines the benefits of both water therapy and shiatsu massage. The therapy, which involves a focus on deep breathing while a clients body is moved weightlessly through warm water by the massage therapist, is often called water breath dance.”

Certainly it is very beautiful to watch, and I imagine in water at body temperature very pleasant to experience.

Here are three of my images:

Watsu a therapy and water dance.

Watsu ~ part therapy, part dance . . .

In Watsu the patient relaxes completely into a prenatal state . . .

Liliana relaxes into a pre natal experience . . .

In Watsu the therapist pulls the patient through the water and under it.

. . . where she is totally immersed in the wonder of what is!
