What is WatsuGoa?
WatsuGoa is a new centre for training and practising Water Therapy in Goa India. It was started, organised and run by Roger White. Roger says: 'I have been living between Goa and Penzance, Cornwall UK for several years now, with winters in Goa India, and summers in UK. I am a trained massage body therapist and have been giving treatments to all kinds of clients, including the yogis attending Yoga courses at Purple Valley Centres in Goa and The Yoga Farm Madron Cornwall.
'In 2003 I was introduced to Watsu (water therapy) by my massage teachers in Goa and have attended courses for 2 years in Auroville (www.watsu.in), Quiet Healing Centre and at Milheeze in Holland.
'My love and interest in water therapies can best be described as “More relaxing, intense, and fun than land based therapies” and I was an instant convert, not just for clients, but for myself. The damage to a masseur's hands and feet doing deep tissue massage is well documented and I found that water therapy nurtures my body as well as my clients.
'However, one needs a pool in a peaceful setting, and this I have achieved in the garden of my house “Guggenheim” which is in the Assagao district of North Goa. I have specifically made it large enough for up to 10 people to train or 2 therapists to work.'
