rumi says,
The human shape is a ghost of
distractions and pain.
Sometimes pure light, sometimes cruel.
Trying wildly to open
this image held tightly inside.

 

 

the human body is filled with an amazing capacity to experience life. we can hear the nightingale's song, taste the sweetness of the bee's labour, feel the touch of a beloved's caress, smell the colours of flowers being born and see ourselves if we dare to look.

 

 

 

dancing on the body ™

 

esalen massage and bodywork

michael and anneli are both certified esalen® massage practitioners and have developed and offer massage we call dancing on the body. dancing on the body™ is a massage which combines touch, healing and being moved. a combination of techniques and touch, movement and pause, initiating and responding. dancing on the body™ is a bridge that connects two beings through the mediums of listening, curiosity and an openness to all things sacred. nourishing and nurturing. it is a massage of being fluid, malleable and spontaneous; a dance of both anatomy and spirit from alpha to omega. a poetic conversation of flesh and bone. dancing on the body™ is non-invasive and feminine in its core. dancing on the body™ is an experience you may never forget, more than a "massage". It is grounded and centered and rides on the wings of breath: yours and mine.

you can also experience a double massage which we call four hands dancing.
double your sensations, double your pleasure. call us at (323) 733-4140 or email us for individual or tandem (four hands dancing) massage rates.

 

music moves us in ways that goes beyond our imaginations, deeper than our dreams and grounded in our own truth. if you are drooling to taste some of our music you can find them under
music.

 

spirit comes in many forms. take a look, beginning with yourself and see how often you see your spirit projected through the lens of your own eyes. through seeing ourselves we see other images that attracts our eyes and our spirit. we have tried to collect some of them in our
spirit gallery.
