WATA Fundamental & WATA 1 | WaterDance Corfu 2026

The WATA Fundamental course has been carefully curated to provide anyone seeking a strong foundation in aquatic therapy. It is highly recommended for anyone wishing to work with under water explorations.

There is a strong emphasis on the preparation for both the receiver and the giver and how you lead a powerful underwater journey. We address the spectrum of relationships from fear to love with water.

We then learn how to approach each session with the appropriate tools to build trust which is essential in a session.

We do learn a sequence of moves, but we focus on the importance of good technique and form. We learn how to make your steps, breath and movements all come together to create a seamless flow.

We spend an equal amount of time on land doing self exploration, working with massage, exercises in nature, dancing, consultations and guided meditation.

There are no particular prerequisites and if you need we are open to have a brief conversation with you to ensure it is a right fit and your expectations or for all questions can be clarified.

Exploring the Breath Within & a Complete New Sequence

WaterDance 1 offers a deep dive into breath, connection, and fluid movement in water. Breath is the foundation of healing touch and this course helps you develop a deep awareness of it, opening the way to presence, relaxation and transformation.

You’ll explore WATA’s evolving sequence with new movements above and below the surface that expand the Fundamental form and deepen your understanding of:

• Water principles and the essence of WATA
• Breath awareness and rhythm
• Adapting flow to individual breathing needs
• Supporting land-based practices

Breath & Movement Breath-work calms the nervous system, lengthens apnea naturally and allows free flowing movements that become a spontaneous underwater dance.

Becoming a Practitioner Learning to move with others’ breath requires presence, sensitivity, and adaptability. Practicing with different body types builds confidence, precision, and grace in the water. You’ll also be introduced to Kumbhaka (breath retention) for deeper states of silence and joy. Preparing you for the next level of the Wata Training path: WATA 2.

A Personal Journey This course is also a path of self-discovery.

Releasing your own limitations and blocks helps you become a more intuitive and compassionate practitioner.
