WHAT IS KAHUNA BODYWORK?
Kahuna Bodywork is a unique form of massage that comes from Hawaii. Inspired by three core elements: Hula (dance) that brings rhythm and flow; Lua (martial art) conveying focus, body awareness and structure; and Aloha (loving touch) conducting healing, nurturing and release. Kahuna Bodywork is a Hawaiian healing art, also called “Lomi Lomi Nui” or “temple style Lomi”, which implies that each session is like a sacred ritual; a way to help people gain more compassion towards themselves, release deep rooted blockages and create more harmony within.
Kahuna bodywork is characterized by its dance-like movements, long, flowing strokes mirroring the rhythmic patterns of waves. These strokes are executed using both hands and forearms, synchronized with the rhythm of the music. The movements are dynamic and creative, setting the body in motion, allowing vital energy (mana) to circulate and restore balance. The different techniques aim to release the body tension, relax the mind and transform the spirit!
A Kahuna Bodyworker uses the breath, motion, rhythm, martial art steps, repetition, intuition, creativity, dance and flow of energy, to facilitate healing and deep transformation.
This art form teaches important lessons about responsibility, taking charge of our entire internal-family (ohana) through movement, exploration and compassion, in order to broaden our minds and expand our spirits. Kahuna Bodywork is more than a massage it’s a way of being; inviting individuals to continuously journey inward, explore “the adventurous way”, and find a sense of balance and vitality through loving touch.
Abraham Kawai’i is responsible for introducing this transformative bodywork to the West with an adventurous approach to life, leading his students to deeper levels of self-discovery to grow and strengthen their personal power and spiritual connection to their inner-family and space of existence. He believed in disseminating the richness of Hawaiian culture beyond its cultural boundaries, making it equally valuable to everyone. He emphasized that it’s not about cultural distinctions but rather about the shared human spirit that unites us all.
