All in a name - Janzu/ Watsu/ Whichsu?

[Sulis (Sara Firman)]

Just came across this post (June 21). Where was Caroline? She doesn't say. Sounds a lot like WaterDance to me or maybe Healing Dance Under or Janzu.

Mexico?

Thailand?

Reading around it seems that it is 'more dynamic' so you can do it in cooler water ... any one come across this?

Extract:

Being in water makes all movement naturally slower, so it’s an exceptionally good place to have a body therapy. Janzu is often seen as a rebirthing therapy, with the water representing the amniotic fluid of the womb and this was very much my experience, though I was sceptical when I first heard about it. I had mine in a very large hydrotherapy pool, but it can be done in smaller pools. More and more spas around the globe are putting it on their treatment menu.

The better known Watsu is another wonderful water therapy, a kind of floating massage developed in California in the early 1980s. It combines the stretching and gentle acupressure of a shiatsu with the relaxing effects of being weightless in warm water to rebalance body and mind, and is especially helpful for those who suffer from stress, disrupted sleep patterns or low immunity.

If you just want to be left alone to chill, try flotation therapy, which was first discovered by Nasa scientists to simulate a zero-gravity environment. You float in an enclosed tank full of salt and mineral water heated to body temperature. Being isolated from external stimuli in a weightless environment totally relaxes the muscles and joints, improves sensory awareness and brings about a deep feeling of well-being.


Still, the practice is getting more and more publicity! S
