The Gateway into Free Flow
WATSU® 3 Advanced Moves and Rolls
Copyright 2009 by Harold Dull
This 60 minute DVD is to be used as a review by those who have been instructed in the safe application of these advanced moves and rolls by an authorized instructor in a Watsu 3 course
Watsu 3 is the next step for students who have demonstrated their mastery of the form of Watsu (as learned in Watsu 2) and its principles, who have given enough sessions to develop a comfortable intuitive awareness of how to be with another person in the water, and who are ready to further adapt and explore beyond sequence. Powerful stretches that Watsu’s closeness facilitate and additional advanced techniques that include work at the pool wall and on the steps are introduced. Rolls that train you to spontaneously adapt to whatever position they lead you into become a gateway into "Free Flow", the poetry of Watsu. The focus on the role your legs can play in Free Flow makes Watsu more than ever a dance. In this 2005 edition underwater footage is added and additional Watsu 3 adaptations with Linda de Lehman.

Harold Dull is the president of the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association, and the creator of Watsu, Tantsu, Co-centering and Watsu CQ. In his Watsu 3 classes around the world he has videotaped short Free Flow sessions with each student. A co-teacher, Minakshi, has helped him cull out of the countless hours of tapes the rolls in this video to illustrate the types and varieties that can occur in free flow.
