Structure, Function, Integration: Journal of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute

by Dr. Ida Rolf Institute

The December 2020 issue (Volume 48, No. 2) of Structure, Function, Journal of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® has a theme of Taking It One Breath at a Time. Breath is one of the foundational concerns of Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI), and articles in this issue focus on how to apply technical, movement-based, and poetic knowledge of breath into our Rolfing practices. Also, since COVID-19 has changed all our lives, there are articles regarding how the Rolfing community is adapting to times of shutdown, working with clients online, and adapting to working with new public health standards. Our second theme is a collection of articles from Japanese Rolfers including the intersection between acupuncture and Rolfing work, regional considerations, and an exploration of tension and gravity as it relates to bone and the brain. The issue also features an interview with Michael Polon on the neuroscience of sensation and embodiment and an appeal to bring the concept of levity into our work.
