Details

In response to a request from community members, Rebecca Carli-Mills and Aline Newton, Advanced Rolfers®, Rolf Movement® Practitioners, Registered Somatic Movement Therapists, and Rolf Institute® Movement Faculty will be offering a virtual 3-credit Tonic Function study group beginning in Fall 2021.

Tonic Function refers to Hubert Godard's wide-ranging perspective on movement. Tonic Function speaks to the role of gravity, perception, coordination, and expression in each individual's experience of being and living. Rebecca and Aline have been inspired by Godard's approach since 1990 and integrate this perspective into every Rolfing® & Rolf Movement session.

This study group inquires into three themes at the heart of Tonic Function:

  • Pre-movement
  • Core stability
  • Movement through the life stages
Each session includes embodiment practices that give you tools to use for yourself and your clients, as well as case studies, presentations, and discussion of concepts to help you ground theory in practice.
