About the Ohm
Welcome to the Optimal Health Model (Ohm), where we believe that true well-being begins with the breath. Our approach is rooted in ancient wisdom and supported by modern science, blending the power of breath with holistic health practices to create a comprehensive model for optimal living.
Our philosophy
At Ohm, we view health as more than just the absence of illness—it’s a dynamic balance of physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Our philosophy is inspired by the Māori concepts of Hauora and Te Whare Tapa Whā, which guide everything we do.
Hauora: The Essence of Life
Hauora is the foundation of our approach. In Māori, Hā means breath and Ora means life, symbolising the vital connection between breathing and overall health. We believe that by mastering the breath, you unlock the gateway to holistic well-being. Hauora emphasises that breathing is not just a physical act, but a source of life that influences every aspect of our existence.
Te Whare Tapa Whā: The Four Pillars of Health
Inspired by Te Whare Tapa Whā, we view well-being as a house supported by four essential walls:
Taha Tinana (Physical Health)
The physical body and its ability to maintain health through movement, nutrition, and the life-giving power of breath.
Taha Hinengaro (Mental Health)
The mind’s ability to process thoughts, and emotions, and manage stress, is deeply connected to how we breathe.
Taha Whānau (Social Health)
The strength of our relationships and our sense of belonging, fostered by shared practices and community breathwork.
Taha Wairua (Spiritual Health)
The soul’s connection to a greater purpose, nurtured by mindful breathing and a deep sense of peace.
Just as a house stands strong on its four walls, so does our health thrive when all aspects are nurtured and balanced. At the Optimal Health Model, we integrate these principles into every program, course, and session, ensuring a comprehensive approach to well-being.
Our Mission
Our mission at the Ohm is to empower individuals and communities to achieve optimal health through the transformative power of the breath. We are committed to creating a global standard for well-being that transcends traditional wellness practices, fostering a deeper understanding of the essential role breath plays in our lives.
