Waterness Journey™

Waterness Journey™ is a water modality which invite water partners to explore ‘oneness’ with the element water, in private sessions and workshops.

During ‘one on one’ Waterness session you are held, floated, massaged and gently conveyed to find your own movements, while the giver supports and follows your inner impulses in a safe environment.

Waterness workshops invite you to reach a deeper somatic connection while moving in water with others, using the breath awareness and the properties of water as main tools for the exploration.

In both configurations, Waterness journey allows the receiver to potentially shift from passive to active, spontaneously interacting with the element and the giver.

Merging into the dynamics of water, you play, investigate and intuitively discover the motion and freedom that arise from this flowing element.

WATERBASE© 15 hours (Basic 2 days course, open to all)

Exploring the fundamentals of underwater work (breath awareness, buoyancy, immersion, compression and expansion)

Developing technique by understanding the specificity related to the water element.

Investigation of spiral movements, resistance & ‘flow’ to work as a duo or in trio.

Practice of basic moves, breath timing & descend below the surface.

Complemented by anatomy & bodymechanics approach on land, WaterBase© focuses on the essence of underwater with hydrodynamic support.

WaterBase© course is the first one of a series of 3, with a total of 50hours program.

AQUASPHERE© 15 hours (intermediary course, open to students with WATSUBasic®/ WATERBASE©)

Looking at the possibilities 3 Dimentional massage in water offers – such as deep stretch, release points and specific mobilisation of articulation in 360* space.

Working at the surface & underwater, we take advantage of a spheric access to the body to broaden the range of moves while using velocity, water resistance & buoyancy to increase the effect of the bodywork.

Completed by anatomical input on land, Aquasphere© provides tools for a playful and creative water bodywork.

WATERNESS© 12 hours

Waterness Journey™ is a modality designed to explore through improvised movement and flow ‘the quality or state of being water’ (definition of Waterness).

The course offers a change for students who already have experience in water work.

To the technique of floatation, immersion & water bodywork, we add the dimensions of intuition and timing.

The field of interactivity is opened to evolve towards the possibility of a fluid and improvised dance.

The awareness of the outer flow (water) and inner flow (body impulses), break the traditional relationship of giver/receiver to shift from a primary movement to a spontaneous dance of two, on and under the water line.

Complemented by somatic techniques and movement on land.

Waterness© is an investigation for a new aquatic language.
