Rebecca Carli became interested in somatic movement studies while pursuing B.A. and M.F.A. degrees in dance performance and choreography. She earned certification in Rolf Movement® Integration in 1987 with Janie French and Annie Duggan. In 1989, she became a Certified Rolfer® and in 1992, a Certified Advanced Rolfer®. In 1994, Rebecca graduated from the Pennsylvania Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training and joined the movement faculty of The Rolf Institute.
Rebecca?s understanding of gravity and human movement potential has been enriched by her long time studies with Hubert Godard. Godard?s work provides the chief theoretical and practical foundation that inspires her teaching. Additionally, she draws from her interest in the work of Laban/Bartineff, Charlotte Selver, Julio Horvath and various forms of yoga. Rebecca believes that embodiment is a life long process, essential for somatic practitioners.
Rebecca is a past Chairperson of the Rolf Movement faculty and ISMETA board representative. Currently, she lives in the Washington D.C. area, where she maintains an active practice in Rolfing and Rolfing Movement Integration and teaches a variety of somatic movement courses.
Rebecca is not accepting new clients at this time.
