The Zen Reset

Breath. Posture. Stillness.

A 25-minute live 1-on-1 Zen practice at your desk, designed in Tokyo. For teams that want their people to come back from a meeting able to think.

It starts with a matcha experience at your office in the Bay Area and Seattle. Elsewhere, with a 20-minute call.

Yoga and Zen,
one-on-one.

One teacher. One student. Full attention on the person in front of them.

Yoga came from India. Zen took root in Japan, where it shaped how people sit, breathe, and make tea. For most of their long history, both were passed on the same way, from one teacher to one student.

ONE OM ONE was started in Tokyo by Hajime Ito, who spent twenty years in the yoga business with a back that group classes kept hurting. What finally helped was a private session shaped to his body. We built the company around that one-on-one form, and put the order of a Zen sitting practice at the center of it.

We use Zen as a practice order, not a religion. Our sequence is developed under the supervision of a Zen priest.

Three doors
into Zen.

Some people want to move. Some want to sit still. Some would rather start with a cup of tea. Each door is a live 1-on-1 with a teacher who adapts it to the person.

to bring into precise alignment

Three steps,
in a fixed order.

The Zen Reset follows the order of a Zen sitting practice, adapted for a chair and a screen. The order never changes. How long each step takes is decided by the specialist, for that person, on that day.

0:00 Thirty seconds of silence. Three breaths together.
01 Breath Guided breathing brings an over-activated nervous system back toward baseline.
02 Posture Desk-based movement releases what a keyboard day locks into the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
03 Stillness A short seated stillness, in the sitting form of Zen practice. Not a meditation you have to be good at.
25:00 One line to carry into your next meeting.
Typical weighting shown. The specialist reads breath, voice, and posture and adjusts the time each step gets, every session.
Yasuko Kato, Chief Wellbeing Officer
Designed by Yasuko Kato, Chief Wellbeing Officer Developer of ZENSEE®, the body-based framework the protocol is built on. 20 years in corporate wellness in Japan. The Zen sequence is developed under the supervision of a Zen priest and already runs in a Japanese fitness chain. She supervises how every specialist delivers it, including the sitting form.
Format
25 or 45 minutes, live 1-on-1, from your own desk. No commute, no equipment.
Calibration
Read live and adjusted mid-session. The human capability no app can replicate.
Measurement
A baseline in the first week, an outcome summary in the last.

Unused wellness
benefits.

The benefits you already pay for are often not being used. Most companies already fund wellness. The problem is adoption, not access. Lifestyle spending accounts average $1,675 per employee a year at companies under 100 people, and much of it goes unspent. EAP utilization sits around 5%. A benefit no one uses cannot protect the people you are trying to keep.

The Zen Reset is built around used sessions, not offered sessions. Every participant is matched to a specialist who is expecting them. Utilization is our responsibility, and we put it in the agreement.

Accountability, the part apps cannot replicate

56% of users who sustain the practice cite a single reason: the instructor is waiting. No notification, no content library, no gamification replicates human accountability at the moment of inertia.

Matcha
at your office.

A Japanese tea host comes to your office, serves matcha to your team, and leads a short guided Zen session. Sixty to ninety minutes, in the Bay Area and Seattle.

Outside the Bay Area and Seattle, we start with a 20-minute call instead.

Office matcha supply from a Japanese organic tea maker is available for pilot partners.
