MORNINGS WITH MATE & … MOBILITY — Start your morning by moving

Start the morning by giving your body some space to move.

A few simple movements with a wooden stick can help awaken the joints, open the shoulders and chest, and bring gentle movement into the spine. It’s not about forcing a stretch or pushing for more range — it’s about listening, breathing and gradually preparing the body for the day ahead.

The stick is just a simple tool. What matters is the attention you bring to the movement.

And in between movements, take a moment for mate.
A little pause to breathe, sip, and connect — with yourself or with the people around you.

Move gently. Breathe deeply. Enjoy the practice.

MORNINGS WITH MATE & … MASSAGE — Self-care through touch

MORNINGS WITH MATE · MASSAGE

Self-care can be wonderfully simple.

With nothing more than a wooden stick and your own hands, you can explore gentle self-massage and bring awareness to areas that feel tense or tired. Slow pressure and mindful movement can help you reconnect with your body, release some of the day-to-day tension, and create a moment of presence before everything begins.

You don’t always need someone else to take care of you.
Sometimes, you can give yourself that attention.

Then, a little mate in between — a moment to pause, recharge and share. Mate is more than a drink; it can become a small social ritual, a reason to sit together, talk and start the day connected.

Take your time. Listen to your body. Enjoy the practice.

MORNINGS WITH MATE & … BALANCE — Find your centre

Balance is not about standing perfectly still.
It’s about learning how to find your centre, lose it, and find it again.

Using a simple wooden stick can give you an extra point of reference while you explore balance, coordination and body awareness. Small shifts, gentle challenges and focused breathing c

Foram dias de muito estudo, prática, troca e percepção do corpo. O Osteothai nos convida a olhar o corpo como uma unidade, indo além da região onde se manifesta uma tensão ou desconforto. A partir das relações entre estrutura e função, buscamos restaurar mobilidade, vitalidade e ampliar a capacidade de adaptação do corpo. Trabalhamos diferentes qualidades de toque, mobilizações articulares, ritmo, oscilações, pontos fixos e técnicas que dialogam com os tecidos e com o movimento do corpo. E, antes de qualquer técnica, algo essencial: presença, atenção e intenção. Um curso para ampliar o olhar, refinar o toque e criar novas possibilidades dentro do trabalho terapêutico. Isso é um pouquinho do que vivemos nesses dias no curso de Osteothai no Dharma ITM School São Paulo. Um agradecimento especial ao professor Oliver, por todo conhecimento compartilhado, e a todos os alunos que estiveram conosco nesses dias de muito estudo, prática e troca. 🤍
