I have been exploring and developing remote sessions based on the art of Yield. As I mentioned in my article, the practitioner can engage with the client’s body through somatic resonance via Zoom.
I am happy to introduce a unique approach called Himotore—developed by Isao Koseki, who has experience as a trainer for Olympic athletes—uses cords to provide subtle stimulation, which helps balance the body. I will share some interesting case examples using Himotore, which Mr. Koseki has kindly provided. After that, I will show some applications of Himotore in Rolfing and Rolf Movement practice.
In the second half, I will guide you through a remote Yielding session with Himotore via Zoom. If you have the cord available during the embodiment practice, you will be able to enjoy more.
Recommended Cord Specifications
The participant doesn’t need a special cord for Himotore—as long as it meets the recommended conditions above, it will work well. If you’d like, cords can also be purchased from the official website(m-bbb.shop-pro.jp/), and they do ship overseas, though the site is only in Japanese.
Hiroyoshi Tahata, Rolf Movement® Instructor, is renowned for developing, teaching, and practicing a subtly powerful work that integrates the deepest levels of self with the informing field in which he stands. His unique approach to Spatial Somatics™ recognizes that the body is in constant relationship to the surrounding space. He has developed the concept of ‘yield’ as an approach to Rolf Movement. His articles are available to read on his website (https://yielding.work) and he may be contacted at info@rolfinger.com.
