Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ Module 1 with Elisa Muñoz Blanco
2026-03-04 - 2026-03-09
Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ was developed in 2010 by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, after years of study, research, and clinical practice. Originally described as a powerful yet subtle technique to balance the Craniosacral Rhythm (CSR) and release restrictions in the connective tissue, it leverages the unique properties of the aquatic environment to support healing. Over time, it became clear that this work is more than a method — it’s a concept. It offers a flexible, client-centered approach for therapists, students, and practitioners seeking a deeply intuitive and responsive healing framework.
This approach blends elements of WATSU®, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Manual Therapy, and Myofascial Induction Therapy® (MIT®). The goal is to:
• Enhance neuroception and interoception.
• Restore healthy craniosacral function.
• Release connective tissue restrictions.
• Re-establish the body’s hydrodynamic balance.
Through gentle, intentional touch and fluid movement, both client and therapist embark on a shared journey. Together, they follow the body’s natural rhythms and spontaneous responses in an atmosphere of deep listening and presence. Key Principles:
• Support subtle physiological rhythms.
• Respect physical limits and spontaneous movements.
• Maintain a state of “being with” the patient, rather than “doing to”.
• Offer an environment for surrender, safety, and trust.
The aquatic setting provides constant support, elongation, and alignment, allowing for deeper, three-dimensional tissue releases that are often unattainable on land.
Course Overview: Module 1 (50 Hours)
This is the first module of the full 200-hour Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ Certification Program, which consists of three modules plus a clinical case study.
In Module 1, you will:
• Learn the fundamentals of the Craniosacral and Fascial systems.
• Develop skills in conscious touch, listening, and assessment.
• Identify and work with the subtle Craniosacral Rhythm.
• Gain techniques to release restrictions in key body areas.
You will also learn tools that can be immediately applied in your therapeutic practice. Prerequisites: open to health care professionals, health care students, or students enrolled in aquatic therapy training programs.
Credits: Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Participation issued by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, Director of the Watsupath™ Training Institute.
This course offers 50 hours of credits towards the Professional Training in Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ and elective credits for WATSU® under WABA and Watsu India.

Watsu® & Meditation with Watsu India Team
2026-03-10 - 2026-03-11
Meditation is an important tool for listening, accepting and knowing ourselves, as well as becoming more intuitive towards others.
In our understanding, the purpose of meditation is to cultivate presence and peace of mind, enabling us to connect with our unique essence and the world around us. Through exercises on land and in water, we will cultivate awareness of the present moment, aiming to enhance the innate quality of presence within each of us.
Once we connect with this presence, we will explore ways to deepen and expand it, allowing us to welcome the presence of others in a harmonious and respectful manner. Prerequisites: Watsu Basic.
Credits: Watsu and Meditation is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) as part of the Watsu training program and gives 15 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ Module 2 with Elisa Muñoz Blanco
2026-03-12 - 2026-03-17
Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ (CST in Water™) is an innovative therapeutic approach designed to balance the craniosacral rhythm and release connective tissue restrictions through the thermal and mechanical properties of water.
Developed by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, CST in Water™ merges the principles of WATSU® and Craniosacral Therapy — both rooted in deep listening, respect for the body’s limits, and fostering healing through presence rather than force. In this supportive aquatic environment, patients naturally express changes in tissue mobility. As restrictions dissolve, their tissues regain elasticity and realign toward functional balance. The therapist’s role is to sensitively follow and support these shifts and create a safe space for healing.
Course Focus: Module 2 (50 Hours)
In this module, you will explore the body as an integrated whole —merging anatomy, physiology, and subtle energetic awareness. You’ll refine your therapeutic presence, develop advanced hands-on techniques, and learn to navigate the body’s inherent treatment plan with greater ease and precision.
This advanced training offers a deep dive into conscious touch, non-verbal communication, and somato-emotional processes. Through practice and observation, you’ll discover how to co-create an effective path back to health with your clients — an approach that reflects the future of integrative, body-centered therapies. By the end of this module, you will:
• Integrate Sutherland’s technique for identifying cranial lesions within the CST protocol.
• Enhance your ability to perform whole-body assessments of physiological responses.
• Learn to assess and treat cranial base dysfunctions.
• Apply principles of SomatoEmotional Release® to facilitate emotional healing alongside physical release.
• Deepen your listening, presence, and therapeutic intuition.
• Participate in hands-on sessions and observe skilled demonstrations. Prerequisites: CST in Water™ Module 1.
Credits: Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Participation issued by Elisa Muñoz Blanco, Director of the Watsupath™ Training Institute.
This course offers 50 hours of credits towards the Professional Training in Craniosacral Therapy in Water™ and elective credits for WATSU® under WABA and Watsu India.

Tantsu® 1 with Xavier Boisson & Dariya
2026-03-26 - 2026-03-31
A 6-day intensive.
Tantsu grew out of Watsu. Watsu is a form of aquatic bodywork developed in the 1980s by Harold Dull, floating and stretching people in warm water. In Tantsu, the unconditional holding of Watsu is brought back onto land.
Tantsu offers a deep state of listening and creates an unconditional union and cradle of connected breath and presence. The trust established by this cradle and its creative exploration make it ideal for giving a Tantsu session to anybody. During the first four days, you will be exposed to the basics of Tantsu: cradling someone in a comfortable hold, which gives access to a deep level of relaxation and stillness. The micro-movements that appear will guide your moves, stretches and rotations of shoulders, arms, hips and legs, thereby releasing blockages in the energy flow.
The following two days will take you deeper into body-listening and exploration of various possible body movements. You will also gain knowledge about meridians, hara, and the connection between mind and body.
In this intensive Tantsu will become a joyful expression of caring love. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.
Credits: Tantsu 1 is recognised by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) as part of the Watsu learning program and gives 50 hours of credits for registration with WABA and Watsu India.

Liquid Flow Deepening is an extension of Liquid Flow Essence with a focus on process work and refinement of flow and touch, both on the surface and under water.

During previous courses, required as prerequisite to join this course, you have accumulated a wide spectrum of movements. Even though Liquid Flow Deepening offers some new material and variations of already known movements, it is basically about refining what is already there.
In addition, you’ll learn connecting deeper through working with the breath, sequencing your session, and finding your own combinations and adjustments according to your personal abilities and circumstances – away from right or wrong or perfect – to accommodate different sizes, shapes, and body types. You’ll also be encouraged to create your own sequences and movements, present them to other students, and learn from their creations. Ample practice time will be given, allowing you to refine the flow and smoothen transitions from one movement to another, while at the same time improving your quality of touch.
Also, learning to take your client under water without using a sign will allow you to establish a deeper connection.
A wide variety of practices offering possibilities for self-inquiry in groups of two or three, sharing in pairs and with the bigger circle, self-connecting meditations and movement-oriented practices alone and as a group. Tools will be offered for deeper listening, learning from feedback, and holding your own process and that of others. All this will hopefully lead to a better understanding of yourself and allow more empathy for your client’s process, thereby fostering personal healing for yourself as well as your client. Prerequisites: Liquid Flow Essence and Liquid Flow Essence Integration Day.
Credits: Liquid Flow Deepening gives 50 hours for the Watsu India Liquid Flow Provider Certification program. These hours are also registered on the international WABA registry.
