The Meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offer Structural Integrators a powerful, complementary framework for understanding and treating their clients on deeper levels. In this introductory class, which is part lecture, part movement, we will have a brief overview of the 12 Principal Meridians followed by a more in-depth look at how a few of these meridians might guide our SI work. We will then embody this knowledge in a Rolf-Yoga Class which will include self-applied acupressure/bodywork, yoga poses and qigong exercises. The Rolf-Yoga portion of class will be open-level, meaning that some previous yoga experience/adaptability in your mobility is recommended. Variations/modifications of poses will be offered to suit most bodies. All you’ll need is a yoga mat and some space to move around in. If you like using props, have those on hand as well.
