Align for Life’s author – Dan Bienenfeld – about the book and free tele-class | Dan Bienenfeld has spent over 30 years as a practitioner, trainer, and teacher in the field of SI. He just published "Align for Life" - a methodical and definitive guide to optimizing the Structural Integration process. He talks about the book, and a free teleconference to be held 10/12, at 7 pm PST. Contact Michael nbsp;at mkastris@cox.net to register. Below is a letter from Dan: Dear fellow SI practitioner: I began my studies in SI in 1978, and have practiced and taught SI over the past 30 years. I have finally developed a client's guide to the process of SI that I am very proud of. AS you know, being a practitioner of SI requires a great deal of skill and flexibility, because not only is our work complex, but we also work with so many different types of people. There is often that challenge of finding ways to have our clients experience the work at deeper and deeper levels, yet we can never really know what they will take home with them. The power of SI does not come all at once, the series can be just the beginning. The principles of SI must be practiced in the lives of our clients if it is truly a process work doing. Learning the principles requires teachings: Align For Life, Journey to Structural Integration is a tool for practitioners and their clients to use as a guide throughout the process of SI.. This tool will: *increase your client's structural awareness from 0 to 100. *Suppliment your client's SI and make your job easier. *Increase your business, because your work will last. 200 beautifully illustrated pages of theory, lessons, a self-evaluation process, complete with journal to track the results of the process. Illustrated and designed by Art Ellis, who designed over 500 books for Disney. Ida Rolf intended that our work be educational in nature, which involves more than just passive sessions. Journey to Structural Integration offers clients to learn, practice, and integrate the life giving principles that SI has to offer, along with revolutionary and transformational tools that will change their lives! As you know, our work can be quite beneficial, but why not make it completely transformational? The difference is in the integration. Living SI requires our clients to learn how to apply SI to their lives, and this is not always possible to teach on the table. This is why I created this tool. I would like to invite you to experience Align for Life, so please come visit my website Sincelery, Dan Bienenfeld | 10/26/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

6/2007 — Tom Myers – Contrasts of the Rolf 10-series and the KMI 12-series – Part I | Tom Myers developed his Anatomy Trains concept as a way of explaining continuity in the body and identifying the myofascial chains on which the human form is so reliant. His book, Anatomy Trains, expands on this concept, and his school, Kenisis Myofascail Integration, incorprates it into their SI training. Tom touches on explains the similarities and differences between the original Rolf 10-series and the KMI 12 series. Tom touches on Spatial Medicine, which describes the larger realm to which Anatomy Trains is a conceptual contribution, and in which KMI, and Structural Integration in general, lives and has its being. Anatomy Trainsreg; Myofascial Meridians is a revolutionary idea for understanding whole-bodynbsp;patterning in posture and movement. Anatomy Trains is a new map of the anatomy of connection - precise fascial and myofascial links through the body that lead to new holistic strategies for identifying and resolving complex underlying problems.

Mary Bond – 6/07 – The New Rules of Posture | Mary Bond was a dancer before she trained with Dr. Rolf in 1969. There were a dozen or so Rolfers in the world at that time. Mary has a Masterrsquo;s degree in dance from UCLA, is a movement instructor at the Rolf Institute, and teaches movement workshops nationally. She is the author of lsquo;Balancing Your Bodyrsquo;, and has also published articles in numerous health and fitness magazines. In the Preface of her new book, lsquo;The New Rules of Posturersquo; Mary writes: ldquo;People who have had firsthand experience with Structural Integration know that it is far more than a manual therapy. Rolfing is, in fact, a philosophy; it is an inquiry into the nature of human embodiment. My hope is that lsquo;The New Rules of Posturersquo; can help chanel Rolfrsquo;s inquiry into a mainstream conversation.�? This book is destined to be mandatory reading for all institutions offering anatomy, kinesiology, and medical courses.�? Hubert Godard, Ph.D., Professor of Movement and Research, University of Paris says of her book: ldquo;At last, at any level of knowledge of the body and movement, everyone will have the joy of a discovery that can profoundly change our relationship to ourselves, to others and to the beauty of the world.�? ldquo;We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones.�? Henry David Thoreau In The New Rules of Posture, Mary Bond approaches postural changes from the inside out. She explains that healthy posture comes from a new sense we can learn to feel, not by training our muscles into an ideal shape. Drawing from thirty-five years of helping people improve their bodies, she shows how habitual movement patterns and emotional factors lead to unhealthy posture. She contends that posture is the physical action we take to orient ourselves in relation to situations, emotions, and people; in order to improve our posture, we need to examine both our physical postural traits and the self-expression that underlies the way we sit, stand, and move. The way we walk, she says, is our bodyrsquo;s signature. Bond identifies the key anatomical features that impact alignment, particularly in light of our modern sedentary lives, and proposes six zones that help create postural changes: the pelvic floor, the breathing muscles, the abdomen, the hands, the feet, and the head. She offers self-help exercises that enable healthy function in each zone as well as information on basic ergonomics and case histories to inspire us to think about our own habitual movements. This book also is a resource for Pilates, yoga, and dance instructors as well as healthcare professionals in educating people about postural self-care so they can relieve chronic pain and enjoy all life activities with greater ease. | 8/7/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Don Hanlon Johnson – 11/08 – A Rolfing Philosopher -from the Protean Body to Utopian Dreams | Don Johnson was a Jesuit preist when he was first Rolfed by Ed Maupin. In 1978 he published one of the first books on Rolfing, "The Protean Body ." Don "challenges the dominant notion of the body as a fixed material object, subject to change mostly through sickness, accidents, and aging. I examine the changeability of the body from four perspectives: the biological nature of the body itself, changes due to the body practices of everyday life, attitudinal influences, and changes possible through bodywork, particularly Rolfing." This was one of the first books published on Rolfing. Don is a philosopher, an ex-Jesuit, a leading Somatics scholar, and a true visionary. | 8/7/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Richard Stenstavolf – 6/2008 – by Liz Stewart | Richard Stenstadvold - President of the Guild for Structural Integration - with Liz Stewart Posted by: admin in IASI Richard was Director of the original Guild for Structural Integration (which became the Rolf Institute) for eighteen years; 1971 - 1989. Prior to that, he worked for Adolph's in Los Angeles, as General Manager from 1958 - 1971. His generosity, personal management style, commitment to and close relationship with Dr. Rolf, all went toward shepherding the young organization through the seventies and eighties until it became a thriving entity. Richard reorganized the Guild for Structural Integration in 1989. His plan was designed to preserve Dr. Rolf's traditional teachings while developing her dream of satellite schools. Richard's commitment to Dr. Rolf's vision and his personal promises to her inspires us all as we witness the results of his labor of love; a high quality school and an exceptional, talented community of people, dedicated to the traditional teachings of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. We had some technical probleemd, and had to record this is a coffee house in Boulder, so please excuse the sound quality. | 8/7/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
