Embodying the Recipe as Perception and Coordination
A Six Day Rolf Movement® Course in Holderness, NH
With Kevin Frank
Assisted by Caryn McHose, Rolfer™ and Rolf Movement® Teacher
August 26-September 1, 2015 (August 29 is a day off)
Offered as Rolf Movement® CE and as part of the Rolf Movement® Certification Series *
Fascial mobilization is a uniquely effective strategy for integrating structure. At the same time, fascial work can overshadow what lies behind its effectiveness. Posture integrates because of inherent Body Movement Intelligence, something Ida Rolf defined in specific terms. This workshop is a chance to clarify what inherent body movement intelligence is, and to learn how:
- Rolf’s series reflects an astute summary of how human architecture is designed to move and meet demand. Rolf’s 10 session recipe builds a step by step restoration of competent function, through differentiation of the body’s sensory and motor maps.
- Self-care can be designed to mirror the goals of the series
- Rolf’s goals can be evoked in the absence of fascial mobilization.
- We can clarify these goals and how to evoke them across a broad spectrum of clients and situations, on and off the table.
- We demonstrate the values of the SI series at each step, so clients are educated to understand the point of each session’s work and its application to life’s challenges.
In this course we learn to feel and teach the natural truth of the structural integration series as perceptive/coordinative experience, and build the embodiment that supports us to teach it. Each day we will move together, as a group, in pairs, and individually in order to build an essential movement vocabulary for SI work.
