In Japanese, "Ohashi" means "big bridge," and one of his goals has been to create a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophies toward healing. He founded the Institute in 1974, and it has since become an internationally recognized educational organization.

The Institute is a nonprofit organization and depends on donations, besides tuition, to support student financial-aid programs and its international scholarship programs. These projects help us to fulfill our mission to serve the planet by bringing excellence to the art of healing and serenity to the art of living. Thus our motto, "Touch for peace."

Beginning I is open to everyone of all physical capacities and age. We've had students from 12 years old to students past 65 years old! The Beginning I level is great way to explore and understand the fundamental principles and movements of Ohashiatsu. It is of interest to both experienced and unexperienced students. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to learn. The Ohashi Institute admits students of any race, sex, and age to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded to or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of sex, age, or race in the administration of its educational and administrative policies.
