One of my particular strengths as a Rolfer is my background in movement. In one form or another, I have been exploring and studying movement most of my life. I have been teaching yoga since 1996, currently teach ongoing yoga classes in Penn Valley, and have taught workshops for people with back problems and anatomy workshops for yoga teachers at Wild Mountain Yoga Center in Nevada City. I have also taught introductory Pilates classes since 2004, initially at Springhill Physical Therapy in Grass Valley and more recently at the Phillips School of Massage in Nevada City. Because of my movement training, I am able to provide clients with strengthening and/or stretching "homework" that can help them maintain and enhance the change created within Rolfing sessions. I also have a lot of tools for helping clients develop the new ways of standing, sitting and breathing that are so critical to good body mechanics. I also offer private yoga sessions for both experienced "yogis" and people who simply want a safe, effective, individualized method for stretching and strengthening the body. I can help you design a routine to do at home, that is tailored for your particular needs and interests. If you are already doing yoga, I can work with you to improve your postures, through a combination of instruction and hands-on work. I also offer my own "brand" of core-strengthening work, which draws on traditional Pilates "mat work," yoga, and Rolf Movement®. "Movement is the index of life, its outstanding expression. Through movement, humans sense the driving force of change. Movement is the physical acceptance of change.” —Ida P. Rolf |
