This book details sessions that took place over a period of one year where Lucien, a psycho-motor therapist came to Hubert Godard with the aim of experiencing Hubert's approach to breathing.

From the trancripts of these sessions, Hubert chose to create a single session and to rewrite certain passages in order to better allow the reader to imagine phenomena that occured during these sessions.

A Breath, the researcher and practitioner Hubert Godard proposes that we approach breath ‘in the live’ in order to understand the extent to which breathing is a function of our postural attitude in relation to our milieu, the environment.

Dr. Jeffrey Maitland served as a faculty member of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® since 1979 and was a prolific author and leader in the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. He worked as a tenured professor of philosophy at Purdue University before becoming a Rolfer® as well as being ordained as a Zen Monk.

Written by Jeffrey Maitland, PhD

Embodied Being is unique among books on manual therapy, offering an "infrastructure for intuition," a philosophical approach to what is essentially a practical process of diagnosis and treatment with one's hands. Grounded in the author's decades of practice as a Rolfer and Zen meditator, the book offers a first-of-its-kind three-step method for training practitioners how to see holistically, given the enormously important role perception plays in assessing clients. By exposing many of the unconscious philosophical assumptions that occlude our understanding the depths of manual therapy, Embodied Being promises to illuminate the full scope of body-mind healing, from the point of view of both the practitioner and the person receiving the work.

This book was developed from John T. Cottingham's interest in somato-therapies and his journey in experiencing various therapies covered in this book, including Rolfing® Structural Integration

This book is intended for readers who long to know more about the historical background of these methods as well as the physiological basis of their therapeutic effectiveness.

This comprehensive movement program uses the story of biological evolution as a tool to increase strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Readers learn to "unlearn" inherited bodily habits by embodying the many forms that life has expressed on Earth—from the single cell to the human being—and shifting their perception. Through this evolutionary movement, the body's native intelligence is revived and new movements can be learned, enabling the body to overcome chronic musculoskeletal complaints such as lower back, shoulder, and neck pain, and to meet whatever challenges it is faced with.


Caryn McHose has taught creative movement for over thirty-five years. She developed the experiential anatomy course at Middlebury College, which became the basis of Bodystories: A Guide to Experiential Anatomy, a book she collaborated on with Andrea Olsen. McHose co-founded the RK training in perceptual skills for somatic practitioners in Burlington, Vermont, and uses biodynamic cranial-sacral and Somatic Experiencing techniques in her private practice.

Kevin Frank is a Certified Advanced Rolfer® and Rolf Movement® practitioner who also teaches at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute and IASI CE approved courses. He assisted Toni Packer in founding the Springwater Center for Meditative Inquiry and Retreats in Springwater, New York.

Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing® to provide safe and effective treatment.

Jeffrey Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that "pop" the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing® work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.
