Ojai Massage

In a world that is craving connection, creativity and buoyancy: spaciousness unravels intensity, mere eye contact is medicinal, touch is tender and supportive.

Our human nature needs to be protected, listened to and honoured ~ how can you make yourself the peaceful environment that allows for this to unfold for others?
What are your allies and resources for creating a harmonious atmosphere for your self and your friends?

For us it’s simple, it’s nature, it’s the ocean, the horizon, seeing sky and feeling the breeze. It’s a cool drink on a hot day. It’s closing the eyes down and sending the breath, it’s experiencing sweet and therapeutic touch from practitioners who maintain a safe space, it’s sharing a meal with a favourite person…

There are so many ways to feel good! And we hope that this is a reminder and inspiration to carve some space into your day to be blissfully buoyant.

Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.

Hello to a beautiful new week, from OM.

Join OM therapists, Rosie & Brad this Saturday for a resplendent afternoon of rest at Light and Space, Ojai.
Inside the cocoon of long held poses, you will be anchored deeper into your practice with therapeutic zen thai gestures, a modality that combines thai, osteo and shiatsu as well as structural integration and anatomy trains techniques.

Therapeutically, the combination of yin and bodywork hydrates the joints, supports a flush of fresh oxygen & dynamism to areas of the body needing attention. Physically, it’s wonderful for restoring, detoxifying & balancing the entire system.

Physiologically, it holds hands with with your well-being by facilitating the release of stored emotions & stabilizing your nervous system.

We hope you can join B & R for this wonderful experience.

We hope you find ease and joy in movement and rest this holiday weekend. May it be fluid and explorative! Play with the way you experience and take up space. Jump and splash in the water, crash through a wave, tumble upside down, find a new way of moving, of breathing of staying in a state of ease even when the world attempts to tease you out of it.

There are a couple spots for treatments available if you feel there are some knots that can use a little hand being untied.

We love you moms. Thank you ❤️

Does it fit around your hips like pants with a stuffed pocket?
Does make your b***y tight like you put a finger in a socket?
Does gravity feel like a weight vest—invisible,
or split between toes and neck—a body divisible?
Does it pull down your sitz bones and your core like sap?
Do you try oh so hard to keep your belly off your lap?
Does your pelvis move in one direction?
Is it stuck in your abdomen from an old C-section?
Where is gravity when you get up in the morning?
Is it in your low back as a familiar warning?
Maybe you don’t notice,
because life is so fast and cerebral,
that you’ve been living in a shack but you could build a cathedral!
Close your eyes and bring your feet together,
Barefoot is preferable so you can feel the tether:
Feet to Earth and crown to sky
Stay there until you’ve stopped asking why.
It’s a practice in being human and whole,
And see what happens when you connect pole to pole.

Spread your arms, if they’ve been locked by your sides.
Stretch your tongue, if it’s lethargic on the floor of your mouth.
Widen your lungs if your rib cage holds fast to its treasure.
Mobilize! Mobilize! Mobilize!
Get moving if your blood pools in your feet.
Get still if your mind runs wild in the hills.
Get flewn if you keep waiting for gravity to do less.
Deepen your capacity to self-regulate if you find yourself—like most of us—dancing to a tune that serves others and THE SYSTEM, more than it serves ourselves.

Meet Paul. And quick! Because he leaves May 12th,
We met him in Bali at a leadership and yoga training with Zenthai Shiatsu founder, Gwyn Williams, and invited him to Ojai to share the love and to spread the singular art of Zenthai before continuing his hitch North to Canada.

Unfamiliar with Zenthai Shiatsu? Rosie has so far lead the Zenthai “flow” in the valley. And here for these two short weeks we have Paul joining us. The horizon holds more guest therapists like Paul, as well as trainings co-lead with our Zenthai friends invited from down under across the pacific! 👏

For now, experience Zenthai Shiatsu for yourself or treat a friend with this man called Paul before he’s gone!
