Objectives

The first week of Unit II focuses on each student's personal embodiment and understanding of the Principles of Rolfing as they are experienced in Rolf Movement Integration. In this first week, class meets for five days. The next seven weeks of instruction provide the student with the skills to recognize structural patterns in the body's form and in its function, to see structure in relation to gravity, and to achieve a working knowledge of the basic principles and theories of Rolfing and Rolf Movement.

Class Format

This eight-week intensive class meets four to five days a week. During this phase of their training, students will work on each other, giving and receiving a Ten-Series of Rolfing and three Rolf Movement sessions. Lectures, demonstrations and clinical applications will provide students with a broadened perspective on the Rolfing experience. Students will integrate the structural and functional approaches to Rolfing, learning how to determine when each kind of session is appropriate. The subjects of fascia anatomy, efficient body use, client/practitioner communication, and structural analysis are critical to this phase of Rolfing training.
