SHORT PRESS RELEASE
World Watsu® Week 2026 Begins on World Water Day, March 22
„TOGETHER ON ONE WAVE“
The 8th annual World Watsu® Week, held under the motto “Together on OneWave,” will begin symbolically on March 22, 2026 — World Water Day, highlighting the connection between water, health, and human well-being. From March 22–28, practitioners and training institutes around the world will organize free demonstrations, workshops, and presentationsintroducing the public to aquatic bodywork practices. Organized by the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association (WABA), the event connects practitioners, students, and the public through bodywork techniques practiced in warm water. In addition to Watsu® (Water Shiatsu), this year’s program also includes other WABA-recognized techniques such as Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, Healing Dance®, WaterDance®, and Jahara®.
The first World Watsu® Week in 2019 generated a wave of international collaboration and introduced thousands of people to the unique benefits of aquatic bodywork. Since then, the event has continued to grow, bringing together practitioners and newcomers across continents.While the global dates are March 22–28, 2026, some regions using outdoor pools may hold events on May 18–24, while remaining connected to the global celebration of World Water Day.
World Watsu® Week reminds us that the values on which aquatic bodywork is built — respect, listening, and deep human connection — can contribute to greater understanding among people and to a more peaceful world. Peace & Love for everyone around the world.
