Across the long history of Watsu®, the year 2019 marked the first time when this event was held in a large number of countries and cities simultaneously. Countless therapists and clients were involved all over the world. Seeing that the event had such a success and created a huge wave of cooperation, we decided to continue and to make a tradition out of the World Watsu® Week.
In 2020 and 2021, World Watsu® Week was strongly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, many events were limited, postponed or cancelled. Since 2022, when different measures were in place in different countries, World Watsu® Week has started to be organized regularly and we are happy to continue to introduce and present Watsu© to the general public.
Since 2026, we have added the adjective "Together on One Wave" to the name and added other techniques to the WWW activities that WABA covers and are also very beneficial - Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, Healing Dance®, Water Dance, Jahara®...
Each country can choose its own way of presentation, use other options. Somewhere it will be possible to provide therapies, give lectures or at least publish an article or a new video about Watsu©, Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, Healing Dance®, Water Dance, Jahara®... Even a small reminder is worth it and we firmly believe that soon everyone will have the opportunity to try, experience and experience living water therapy.
World Watsu® Week will start again with Water Day on March 22.
Some countries, for example, where outdoor pools are used, or which cannot join us for other reasons during the week of March 22, can use the second date, which is also regular from May 18, 2026.
However, all countries have officially committed to holding World Watsu® Week from March 22 to 28, 2026, in order to achieve unique media support and joint promotion of Watsu®, Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, Healing Dance®, Water Dance, Jahara® for both the professional and lay public, simultaneously and worldwide. This "One Wave Together" of ours can continue until the May date.
Our goal is to allow everyone to experience at least one of the aquatic therapy techniques for free. It is up to you if you would like to contribute to the organizers and volunteers for the operating costs associated with the event.
Enjoy World Watsu® Week!
