Summary

The Advanced Rolfing Training is the final step in the completion of the Rolfing Education; it gives you the opportunity to consolidate your foundations and deepen the knowledge and skills you have acquired during your Rolfing practices.

It is considered an advanced course because it aims to advance your progress through acquiring new complex and refined techniques to use with your clients. Advancing you, as a Rolfer, means that the next basic sessions you’ll offer will benefit from a new vision and approach. On completion of your advanced training, you will also be able to offer Advanced Rolfing sessions.

You’ll learn about

My way of teaching and practicing Rolfing is based on the manual approach that is the essential element of our work.

During the training you’ll learn how to better differentiate fascial layers, how to intervene with the articular system, and how to address the visceral components. All elements that will help to meet the different issues and needs of our clients.

Body reading is another essential aspect of the work that helps us to see and recognise how the body organises itself in space as well as how gravity flows through it. This is a great addition to the advanced training as it helps to create a plan and a project for a series of sessions tailored to our clients.

A fluent interaction with the client is based on the capacity to listen and resonate with them: this alliance with the client is the foundation for a successful practice.

Dividing the training into three parts, gives you the opportunity to try and experiment what you are learning between one module and another with your clients. Returning to class each time with new observations, specific requests and comments that arise from your daily practices.
