This presentation draws on practical applications relating to the changeability of peri-personal space, and its implications for reorganizing postural and movement coordination.
Marius Strydom became the first Certified Rolfer™ in South Africa when he graduated from DIRI in Boulder, CO in 1995. He completed his Advanced Rolfing® training in Brazil in 2000, and became a Phase I faculty member in 2001. He received half of his further faculty training in Europe, and half in the US, teaching his first Phase III in Germany in 2005.
Marius has taught Rolfing Certification trainings in the US, Germany, Japan, Canada and South Africa, and has taught Continuing Education in Czech Republic, Poland, and South Africa. He started the South African Rolfing Training in 2010. The cultural diversity, with participants from 16 countries (so far), and 6 different continents, adds a whole layer of fascination and global perspective to in-class discussions about topics like embodiment and perception as formative functions in postural and movement coordination.
I have a keen interest into the nature of our bodily relationship to gravity and space, and the nature of how we change those relationships. I look forward to sharing this enquiry with you!
