Certified Rolfing and Yoga Integration

The connective tissue of the body can be manipulated in three planes by lengthening (y), de-rotating (x) or fluffing (z) segments. When forming a hypothesis about how to approach the matrix of the body the Certified Rolfer assesses the structures movement capacity in the three planes and addresses the restriction in the tissue of each segment in all three planes. Each segments structural and functional potentials are married to each other, they are two sides of the same coin or like two mirrors facing each other. The reclamation of space is more fruitful with integrative movement to retrain the planes released that a new organization is possible.

Budokon yoga is the movement science of our time and is being called the most intelligent practice on the planet. The combination of yoga, martial arts, limbic integration, and meditation incorporate and encompass many of the tools necessary for integrating our species. The cornerstone of the yogic practice is called Rolling Wave, a dynamic expression of flexion/extension in closed chain. The movement is slow and specific to each segment involved and is a highly efficient way to integrate the core. Dancing Dog is a movement that expresses dynamic movement in all three planes and is similar to flight of the eagle in the book "How life moves" by Kevin Frank and Caryn McHose.

Movement in martial arts and yoga is dynamic movement in all three planes, so open and closed chain enabling tonic function potentials can be intended and realized. The martial arts consist of stand up and ground budo that is very explosive and efficient utilizing the acceleration-deceleration technology of Budokon. Limbic Integration is how the practice unearths latent potential in the reptilian brain to remind us of what it was like to move uninhibited from social and cultural stigmas. Zazen meditation is the way to witness breath and relationship to other as the body organizes and integrates the participation of the practice.

Rolfing and yoga are two parts of a whole that utilize an inquiry of a greater potential. Hydrating, differentiating, and integrating the connective tissue matrix of the body can reduce resistance in the body. Budokon provides technique designed to bring the whole being to a higher level of order through dynamic and integrative movement enabling a more authentic expression.

Yoga and the Certified Rolfing Ten Series have the ability to reduce pain and release tension in the connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Fascitis, Bunions, Scoliosis, and Cerebral Palsy. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; integration therapy is necessary. Orthopedic, Chiropractic, Physical, and Massage Therapist recognize Rolfing and Rolf Movement as premium pain management utilizing Structural, Functional, and Postural Integration.
