At the heart of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® is a dedication to the discipline of Structural Integration, a form of holistic manual therapy that focuses on the fascia. Pioneered by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1970s, the Rolfing Ten-Series™ approach she developed is the core of this rapidly growing field in the bodywork sphere.
Her founding philosophy and practice of aligning the body in gravity continue to underpin our dynamic and multi-modal curriculum today.
As a thought leader in somatic therapy, our passion is teaching how to positively change lives, building a community of caring practitioners who can guide others in discovering a way to move with ease.
