ABSTRACT The tongue and voice are inextricably linked, as Rolfing SI Instructor Ellen Freed discovered firsthand when her tongue temporarily swelled for a few days preventing speech. Applying her cannon of knowledge to the situation, Freed researched tongue anatomy and physiology, while also experimenting with Rolf Movement-inspired vocal exercises. In this interview, Freed reviews her findings that have influenced her wellness practices and how she approaches visceral cranium work with her clients.

Ellen Freed interviews her Rolfing faculty colleague Tessy Brungardt in this broad discussion of the arms, hands, and shoulders, touching into the holistic nature of our work, the arms in whole-body patterns, issues from injury and overuse, and the range of touch that makes our work most effective.

Advanced Rolfing Instructor Jan Sultan shares with faculty colleague Ellen Freed a deep and broad view of the Ten Series, from his initial training with Ida Rolf through the insights and understanding developed through fifty years of practice and teaching.
