What is the water healing Dance?
Healing Dance, developed by Alexander George in the 1990s, is a dynamic aquatic therapy that blends elements of dance, Trager bodywork, and WaterDance, departing from traditional Watsu with its three-dimensional movements both on the water’s surface and underwater. This approach aims to release blocked energies, enhance physical mobility, and induce emotional release.
An Introduction
How does it work?
The practice involves flowing movements that gently wave the recipient’s body, particularly beneficial for spinal issues and emotional release, utilizing the full dimensionality of water. Advanced body mechanics create both large and subtle movements, while stillness allows for integration and psychological reflection.
the water Sequence
01
Preparation Phase
Involves pre-call discussions, open-ended questions, attaching floats for support before gentle breathwork
02
Immersive Water Sequence
Participants glide into water, experience fluid movements guided by the practitioner, then transition back to solid ground after about an hour.
03
Integration Journey
Encourages participants to explore intuitive movements, silence, or verbal reflection. Post-session care ensures gentle integration with support from the practitioner.
What are the effects?
This holistic therapy creates a series of moments: flow, dance, waves, spirals, stretches, and quiet spaces—forming a unique water journey for each individual. Healing Dance emphasizes intuitive movement, with therapists mirroring and responding to the recipient’s needs rather than following a static sequence. It invites playful participation, fostering a sense of wholeness and self-love.
