Breathing in the Gravity Field
• SI Practitioners (IASI approved)
A member of the Dr. Rolf Institute since 1987 and an International and European Rolfing® and Rolf Movement™ Faculty member,…
We cannot avoid breathing. But we can interfere with this essential and fundamental function of our living system.
We do it to perform some activities, such as speaking, singing, playing wind instruments, diving.…
Physical restrictions and lack of elasticity limit the adaptability of the body system and therefore the ability to breath effectively in every action of our life.
What we are not aware of is how strong the unconscious interference with breathing is related to our attitude: habits of movement , belief system, cultural patterns, ANS balance,… in many ways breathing cannot occur simply by adapting to postural needs.
The force of gravity acts and substantially conditions breathing, as well as all aspects of our existence: an effective activation of the tonic function, the ability to allow the weight flow and to orient oneself in space are indispensable tools to restore the person’ s full capacity to breath.
*Please note, for everyone's safety, the Bavarian State's latest Covid-19 regulations (at the time of the event) will apply and we will keep you regularly informed of any changes.

In this 3 days WS we will explore ways to identify and address what prevents a full, efficient breathing in our client’s individual experience, both structurally and functionally.
Our tools will be: Assessment of the body, identification of patterns through visual analysis, active movement, variety of touch. Hands on work, to provide informations through the manipulation of the fascia, increase proprioception, remap the territory, clarify the relationships within the body and with the context Stimulate the activity of the senses toward space and the substrate to orient and support the body system Contextualise and integrate experience what was experienced in the session into the experience of daily life.
