We are pleased to announce a four day workshop with the former president of the Rolf Institute, Neal Powers, to take place
from July 8 - July 11 2010, in Zurich, Switzerland. |
|
To accomodate popular demand we have decided this year to schedule a four day workshop, instead of the usual six day. |

Neal began his studies with Dr. Rolf in 1971. He was president of the Rolf Institute
for six years as well as being on the faculty.
He has been teaching Structural Integration since 1981 and was part of a study group that researched the effects of Structural Integration on ice skaters.
The report can be downloaded here:
Preliminary pilot study report for the US Figure Skating Association.
Neal has maintained a private practice in San Francisco for many years.
Neal has a great ability to clearly deliver the principles and theories of the SI work and, with his amazing sense of humor, strong spiritual and family base, he has become a guiding light for many practitioners. |

Neal's modesty with respect to our work may have kept him out of the limelight of the Rolfing community and few people know that he recently helped set a world record and thus helped raise 50'000 Dollars for the victims of Hurricane Katharina. |

To get an idea of the atmosphere at the workshop, please take a look at a "7th hour" demo, we taped at last year's workshop in Zurich.
I have split up the demo into five segments:
Preparations 1, Preparations 2, Cranial 1, Cranial 2 and Oral-Nasal.
Scroll down in the menu below the player to choose one of the five.
Some of last year's participants have offered to give you their personal insights -
please feel free to e-mail them, by clicking on their name:
I hope to see you in Zurich in June 2010.
