Deepen Your Understanding of the Structural Logic of the Ten Series

The 10 series is an orderly and logical way in which to interact with human structure. The logic embedded in the series is tied to the myofascial relationships of the body. In this two-part workshop we will examine these relationships as they relate to each session and to groups of sessions. Understanding these relationships will help you to choose interventions more tailored to the exact needs of your clients, making your work more efficient and effective.

We will also focus on range of touch so the practitioner can match the needs of the client's tissue. In addition, ease and efficiency of practitioner body use will be addressed.

Class activities will include: lectures, demonstrations, practicums, working on outside clients and student exchange sessions.
Fee: 160,000 yen
No. of participants: Limited to 20 Certified Rolfers
CE credits: 6 manipulation credits for Rolfers (self-registration with RISI)
