About the Instructor
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 the US, and half in Europe, teaching his first Phase III in Germany in 2005.Marius has taught Rolfing Certification trainings in the US, Germany, Japan, and South Africa, and has taught Continuing Education in Czech Republic, Poland, and the USA.
He started the South African Rolfing Training in 2010, which runs every three years. 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.
Marius is interested in how we learn this multidimensional work, to that end meeting students in their respective learning and perceptual styles, making for an engaging, experiential learning environment.
