During Watsu^® 2, you will expand your repertoire of aquatic movements and deepen your understanding of Shiatsu fundamentals as applied in warm water. You will learn to read the receiver’s body in motion and to respond in a more precise, attuned, and therapeutic way.

The practical focus will include:

• Intermediate movements and advanced transitions that enrich and bring continuity to the session
• Application of Shiatsu points and meridians in the water, integrated in a functional and sensitive manner
• Working from the Hara as a central axis of support, direction, and presence
• Depth of listening, pacing, and therapeutic accompaniment, adapted to everyone
• Building more organic, coherent, and personalized sessions

Learning is grounded in direct experience, supervised practice, and the conscious exploration of one’s own body as a therapeutic instrument.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of Watsu^® 2 / Expanded Flow, you will be able to:

• Expand the positions and transitions learned in Watsu^® Transition Flow, incorporating new stretches and variations adapted to each body.
• Adjust your work to the person you are holding, developing sensitivity, deep listening, and real-time responsiveness.
• Analyze which movements need to be repeated on both sides and which do not, learning to optimize time, rhythm, and session structure.
• Integrate Hara-based work as the foundation for stability, presence, and therapeutic coherence.
• Individualize each session, respecting the physical, emotional, and energetic needs of the receiver.
• Complete and deeply understand the standard Watsu® sequence, using it as a living, flexible structure, and preparing to ultimately release the sequence in Watsu^® 3.

To attend this course, students must have completed at least one Watsu^® 1 course with an instructor accredited by W.A.B.A. and/or I.A.K.A. and must have completed the required free and/or supervised practice for this level.

After completing Watsu^®2, students may access Watsu^®3 once they have completed the Competency Demonstration, have been positively evaluated by an accredited instructor, and have fulfilled the required number of free and/or supervised practices and received the required number of sessions from an accredited professional.

The course will be taught in Spanish, with English translation available upon prior request.

At the end of the course a Certificate of Participation will be awarded by the Watsupath^™ Training Institute, the only training institute in Spain accredited by the W.A.B.A., Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association, for the Watsu^® professional training path.
