Why did you decide to study Rolfing®?I am a dancer and I wanted to do something that combined my love of movement and of body so that I could make a further career. I had met a Rolfer when I moved to Berlin about 7 years ago and he worked on my ribs to work on my hip.
Dancers are interested in the process of Rolfing® because it provides them with a different experience of their body than their daily training.
They regain circulation, flexibility, fluidity, lightness and confidence that they can integrate into their technical and artistic work.
