Open the body slightly, rocking toward

the feet. Unweight the head, opening your

head elbow to give it space.

Rock toward the head, submerging the legs

first to telegraph. Submerge only half the

face on the first dive, the head sideways.

Continue rocking headwards and footwards

in rhythm. Your head hand between the

shoulder blades will keep the buoyant

receiver in the absolute space.

Pre-support the head in your head arm and

surface rocking toward the feet to keep

1.b. Accordion Rolled Away Rotate 45º

side to side in Horse Stance in the Accor-

dion Position without opening or closing.

on the outbreath. Signal and rotate

footwards once more on the inbreath.

Rotating headwards, roll partner gently

away from you into a Father submerging,

maintaining the Accordion position.

Lean on partner with your chest and foot

arm around the thighs to keep her under.

Open your elbow to give the head freedom.

Continue in the surface rhythm, rotating

45º sideways without folding together or

opening. Sink low to keep the near arm in

the absolute space.

Roll partner toward you, pre-supporting

the head. Surface rotating footwards to

keep the hair out of the face. Continue

with a few more cycles of rotation.

2. Far Leg Rotation Establish the Watsu

movement cycle on the surface, rotating

from Warrior to Warrior Stance footwards.

Your wrist under partner’s far knee allows a

spacious movement. We see the rotation head-

wards from Warrior to Horse to Warrior.

→

A Mother submerging rolled toward is

shown, although a Father dive works well,

too. Push down the far shoulder.

Crouch low in the water to maintain the

absolute space, sweeping all the way to the

Foot Warrior.

→

Returning headwards, it is easy to maintain

the receiver completely underwater by

leaning forward onto her. Open your elbow

away from the head.

Pre-supporting the head, surface in rhythm

footwards and rolled towards to stream the

hair off the face.

3. Heart Wave Below Do the Heart Wave

Toward on the surface, body at 45º. Signal

in the rounding/exhale phase on the back.

→

Submerge in rhythm as the next rounding

begins. Withdraw your hips to free the

near arm, or do so manually, shoehorning.

Open your elbows to the side and be careful

not to dislodge the clip. Maintain partner on

her side as you Baby Godzilla backwards.

→

Position your arm under the head before

surfacing in the Heart Wave Away. The

head will be heavy, so be sure the mouth is

out of the water. This dive can be reversed.

Use fascial countertraction in the Heart

Sandwich to shape the Heart Wave Be-

low. Allow the movement to translate up

into the neck and head.

Rotate headwards as partner takes her

last inbreath before submerging.

4. Hara Hug Set the position and rhythm

on the surface, rotating footward as partner

exhales. Signal at the end of this exhale.

Your head arm supports the cheek on the

surface but takes the heart underwater,

leaving the head free.

Submerge the position in rhythm by hug-

ging the buoyant receiver to you and

crouching low in the water.

→

Pre-support the head on surfacing. Make

sure the mouth is out of the water and the

head and neck aligned with the rest of the

spine. Continue the original rotating.

Keep partner’s shoulder submerged as you

continue to rotate. Your head hand holds

the heart, the elbow extended to give the

head its freedom to move.
