Sinossi

Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute® is the professional journal representing the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. It has been in continuous publication for some forty years, initially as The Bulletin of Structural Integration and later as Rolf Lines.

The themes of this issue, Volume 44, Number 1 (March 2016), are the Advanced Training as the culmination of the training of a Rolfer™, and the Rolf Institute’s Advanced Faculty shared through profiles and their contributions to our field. The Rolf Institute was founded by Ida P. Rolf to carry on her life’s work of Rolfing SI. To support this end, she charged her early Advanced Faculty with ongoing teacher training of new Rolfing instructors, as well as with both continuing her legacy and developing her work.

For Rolf, the work was never static. The history of how she presented her work suggests she spent decades tinkering with her hallmark Ten Series of basic Rolfing SI. She did not bring forth an advanced series until late in her life, so it was left to her ‘lineage holders’ to work with and develop the body of knowledge left to us. To do this, they had to fully understand what she had developed, so an early task was to deconstruct the Ten Series to its component Principles of Rolfing SI, which ‘decode’ its inherent order and are the foundation of its success as a holistic approach to global transformative change. With these ‘building blocks’, the Advanced Faculty of the Rolf Institute were able to reassess and evolve Rolf’s advanced work, eventually developing it into the truly client-centered non-formulistic approach that is taught in the latest (third) iteration of the Advanced Training.

Informazioni sull?autore

The Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration was established in 1971 by Dr. Ida P. Rolf to carry on the work she originated, the field of structural integration. Dr. Rolf's genius was to consider these two factors in combination - how gravity affects a body's structure and alignment, and the holistic role of fascia (the body's connective tissues) in maintaining the shape and flexibility of the human form. With these concepts, she developed a process for optimizing body posture and structure by aligning and re-organizing the fascia.

The vision of The Rolf Institute is to bring the benefits of Rolfing® Structural Integration to the world. This is accomplished through internationally-recognized certification programs in Rolfing Structural Integration and Rolf Movement® Integration, as well as continuing education programs for practitioners. The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration is the only school that teaches Rolfing Structural Integration and graduates Certified Rolfers™ worldwide. The Rolf Institute also underwrites and promotes research and public education about the benefits of Rolfing SI, including the publication of its scholarly periodical, Structural Integration: The Journal of The Rolf Institute®.
