Hiroyoshi Tahata has been working to integrate the Japanese concepts of Hara and Ma with Rolfing for twenty-five years. The approach he has developed is transformative and broadens a practitioner’s field of perception and informed touch.

This workshop will explore:
  • How the spatial relationship between practitioner and client facilitates safety within a therapeutic process
  • How we, as practitioners, ‘condition’ the field from our very first encounter with clients
  • The somatic impact of the pandemic:
     
  • How social distancing may have affected our ability to sense field relationships
  • How the practitioner’s intentional positioning can reset a pattern of shallow breathing and create security
  • How to release eye tension related to excessive screen use
  • How we can work with Hara sensation in remote sessions
