$875

50 CEU’s Instructed by: Ahara Vatter, Senior WABA Instructor

August 3-9, 2025 (Sunday – Saturday)
Dear water loving people,
I am excited about offering WATSU® 1 August 3-9 at Harbin Hot Springs, the birthplace of WATSU®. This is the first year of having WATSU® classes at Harbin since the Valley Fire in 2015. A special thanks to Harbin and the events coordinators for making this happen. It is a special honor to teach these first WATSU® classes at Harbin in 9 1/2 years. We had our first WATSU® class at Harbin in March. It was wonderful! Come be a part of the bringing WATSU® classes back to Harbin!Lucinda Kaul will be co-teaching WATSU® 1 and Ana Malachowski will be assisting the class. 

The class is being held at a Harbin Dome pool. Our opening circle starts in Dome 3 on land on Sunday August 3rd at 4pm. Please arrive by 3:50pm to finish finances and settle. We’ll finish our first day at 8 :15pm.
All five of the full days of class will start in the water at 8:30 am and end by 6:15 pm.
We will finish class on the last day, Saturday, March 13th by 1:30 pm.

The class is limited to 10 students.
If you are interested, please let Ahara know and she can send you more details for the class and how to enroll.

Registration Cost: The cost of the class is $875 dollars. There is a $225 deposit to hold your space in class which is included in the total. There is a request to stay on the Harbin property which makes getting to class more easeful and allows you to emerge in the Harbin experience. If you are not staying on the Harbin property, there is a $50/day weekday and a $70/day weekend charge to come onto the property. The camping fee at Harbin is the same as the daily charge. Please reserve camping or rooms as soon as possible as they are not being held for class attendees and will book out. If you would like to share a room with another student let Ahara know. Lodging at the Dome area is most convenient to our class pool at the Domes.
