What is Zen Bodytherapy®?


Zen Bodytherapy® is a series of ten sessions designed to give the body its optimum functionality in movement and in stillness by preparing, balancing, and aligning the soft tissue of the body in relation with itself and the environment. While feeding ki, work is done to free up and align the fascial webbing, release the pain, reeducate the nervous system through awareness through movement, and produce a vertical lift through the body.

Each Zen Bodytherapy® session follows a recipe for unwrapping, aligning and balancing the human structure. Each session is a continuation of the work done in the previous session and focuses on a specific area of the body.

The nature of the Zen Bodytherapy® work is very deep, direct and to the point. Aberrations that have accumulated in the tissue over the years are cleared, the soft connective tissue is separated and freed, and the body is allowed to come together again, more aligned, integrated and balanced. The body exhibits an upward lift against the force of gravity, with great ease of movement and an unobstructed flow of energy.

The goal of this work is to reverse the aging process and rejuvenate the client’s body, mind and soul.

The people who seem to get the most from the work are the people who are ready for change and able to be actively engaged in its process.

WHAT FORMER CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

I have been to chiropractors, done accupuncture, massage, you name it - I've tried it. Nothing is like Zen Bodytherapy. It really works your entire... energy field. You'll feel things you've never felt before in yourself.

EVELYN CHASE - lawyer

I did Zen Bodywork because it was recommended to me by a friend who does martial arts. I didn't think I had any pain in my body, but boy was I wrong. You will be amazed what you will discover in your body, and what your body can release. I didn't know my body can feel this loose and calm.

STEVE BAKER - personal trainer

I've been doing Bikram yoga for years, then I had one injury and had to stop. Usually if I would stop for a week before, the next week was already harder to do the poses. After Zen Bodytherapy my pain went away, I went back to Bikram, and it was as if I had never left. I think my first time back was in fact the best practice I had ever had. I felt loose, balanced and focused like never before.

DON YONG - yogi

Zen Bodytherapy changed my life. Before, I was working on accepting my body, as being what it is, something I cannot change. I now feel that my body is plastic, and I can mold it however I want. I feel leaner, taller, my shoulders dropped down, my arms hang loose on the sides of my body, and I often get compliments on my posture. I used to have a bladder problem, and with Zen Bodytherapy, it went away. Emotionally I’ve also changed. I am less stressed, more emotionally aware, and more active in finding out the source of my pain.

ROSA ORTEGA - mother of two

I feel so aligned and balanced after the therapy, I don't recognize my own body. My soul and my body went from extreme pain to challenging my demons to heal. It was a lot to take and it was pleasant at the same time.

It was almost shocking to see stuff I was not even aware of coming up so strongly to my consciousness during the session. One of the things I can't even explain is how many different feelings and reactions I had over that 4 hours. I went from excruciating pain to extreme relief, or sometimes to extreme peace or even exhaustion. There were moments I couldn't bear the pain and others when I wanted to “sadistically" face it and fight it. I felt like you could challenge me but I could also challenge myself. Somehow It feels to me that we worked together.

There were moments Alina was this big giant creature and moments she was as light as a butterfly. I was so delighted about that. I never felt her rushing or anticipating the transitioning. It felt organic, real and very flowy. She gave me what I needed when I needed, the amount of self-awareness and compassion she has to have to do that is extraordinary. There was one specific situation where I was feeling extreme pain, physical and emotional. I was crying a lot, and I couldn't control it. It's like I was supposed to flood and avoiding it would be against the natural flow of the process. Seeing that, she asked me to lay down on my belly and she worked on my hands energetically). I never went from a place of pain to a place of peace so quickly and with such subtle and amazing work being done. It felt like healing, like cleaning. As if the skies were turning blue again.

One other thing I took away from my session was breathing. Breathing has been one of my interest also in dance, and this time I learned from real experience, not from intellectual content how powerful breathing is. Alina made me feel the power of breathing on a very deeper level. Since that day of my session I am breathing more consciously in my life. I've also been acknowledging a little easier the tension and contraction in my body. This is reflecting in my dance and also in my teaching.

Alina is one of the best at what she does. She is committed in herself and with what she does, and so freaking strong!! I felt taken care of physically, energetically and emotionally. I received the same level of challenge as I received in compassion. I think I hadn't cried that much in a very long time. She took from the inside of me what I didn't even know it was there. It was an experience for life!

Zen Bodytherapy® Canon


“Zentherapy® recognizes that from birth to death life is a flow of energy. This energy takes shape by our attitudes, our emotions, and our bodies. Zentherapy® releases the natural form of the body from the aberrations caused by physical, chemical, psychological, and spiritual traumas. These aberrations misalign the body and block the free flow of energy within the body and between the person and the universe. The blocks and misalignment prevent a person from realizing his full potential and experiencing the one list of all life. Once the blocks are removed and the structure is aligned, the body, mind and spirit was moved to a higher plateau.

Zentherapy® is a synthesis from Eastern and Western cultures. Many different methods and techniques are used to process the body; this includes my teachers, Ada Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, Lauren Berry and Raymond Nimmo. Tanouye Rotaishi’s teachings are an underlying source of all Zentherapy® trainings.

Consciously experiencing and using universal energy is what makes Zentherapy® unique. The zazen training is basic to this work. From the very first day and throughout the Zentherapy® trainings, special emphasis is placed upon the self-development of the practitioner and the development of the client.

It is the goal in therapy for both the practitioner and client to become as a child: free of fear, hate, greed and pain. Fully living each moment, moment by moment.”
