2018.09.26 – 2018.10.01 Provider Training
in Okinawa with Toru Ogasawara (English)

Provider Training is a class that teaches you how to freeflow with real clients after completing Watsu 2. Many clients have difficulties in their Watsu sessions to surrender to the unusual sensation of floating in the water. In those cases, Watsuers will find that doing the sequence or doing random movements may not help the clients to free their body in the water.
Toru teaches you what he calls “structured freeflow, which is freeflow with a plan to melt down the clients to let go of their control and fear, and avoid possible motion sickness. He himself struggled first to be effective with real clients when he became Watsu Practitioner, he developed this idea and application over a decade of his practice in a way he can share with his students, and now this is how he does his every sessions. He teaches the plan and application of his freeflow sessions in the concept of 6 bodywork functions, which are access, separate, mobilize, stabilize, sequence, and integrate. Plus, as always, his creative ways and exercises to let you feel and learn to make the differences earn constant positive feedbacks from students.
Join us and learn the freeflow in depth. Learn what it takes to become ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’ in your sessions. We can only make many little differences to make the big difference as a whole.

What to bring
  • Swimsuit
    If you wear swim shirt, half sleeve is recommended.
  • Swim towel
    Bath towels are available at the spa and at the lodging. But we get in and out of the pool so many times!
  • Beach sandals
    The floor around the pool is slippery on bare foot.
  • Thermo mug and your favorite tea bags
  • Anything you always like to have for breakfast
  • Skincare product
    Unfortunately the pool has sterilizing chemical which dries your skin.

We are located in Ginoza, a very rural village where the firming and fishing is the main industry. There is a convenient store in the village where we can stop by anytime at the end of the day. We’ll take you to a grocery store in the neighbor town on the 1st day for your breakfasts and other groceries for the week.
