Water Yoga and Water Shiatsu (Watsu)

The most famous water therapy is Water Shiatsu which uses gentle movement & acupressure for relaxation. Although this method can be practiced in any shallow body of water but to get its full benefit if carried out in warm mineral water. To get started, you need a partner to help you in certain steps as you go along.

Because of the unique properties of water, people of different fitness and age levels can safely enjoy Water Yoga. Conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, obesity and others can make traditional yoga practice on land extremely difficult. Gravity during standing poses (“asanas’) may also be too great for deconditioned individuals just beginning physical activity after illness or injury. But buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure of the water support the body in all directions making most standing yoga poses easier. Over time practicing the poses in water will lead to greater strength and stability. Often people move on to broaden their yoga practice on land after training in the water.
