Ōtthsaw stands for
Ode to the Human Spirit at Work.  

Our relationship to our work is sacred. Our work is how we care for ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world around us. It's how we express our callings and professions. When our work works, our world works.  My work is to help your work work.

I started building my reimagined office furniture in the SLO Makerspace in 2014. After years at a desk and experiencing both physical and mental health declines from inactivity, I started asking "What else could I be doing during my desk time to avoid the health decline?" As a yoga teacher, I realized a floor practice was missing.

A floor practice is a fitness practice. Also, a relationship to the floor is grounding. That sounds like a pun but it isn't meant to be. When we understand our relationship to the floor we know how we rise up off of it.​
