ABSTRACT In the structural integration paradigm, a good standing posture is one that is organized in the gravitational field. Said another way, a person is free to breathe, feel, and allow continuous muscular adjustments for an unceasing interplay of movement. This fluid verticality is evoked when standing and working with The Original Tuning Board™. In this article, Darrell Sanchez describes the tuning board paradox of dynamic balance, where humans both stand with stability and motion. He explains the refined foot position, the neutral experience, and the folding exercise using the tuning board, all of which enhance the client’s experience of their own living ‘Line’.

ABSTRACT This article is an exploration of yoga concepts and poses, and how these movement explorations engage the fascia system. Darrell Sanchez, PhD, Rolfer, and Rolf Movement Practitioner discusses where yoga and Rolfing SI overlap as somatic practices.

In contacting another human being we, as Rolfing Practitioners, cannot help but stimulate the release and reception of information within that person. If the theories described in this writing are correct, then the processes of the storage and transmission of memory take place not only in the structures of the brain but in every living cell. Each moment of contact is a creative act where previously experienced information mingles with new. In this sense, our work with living tissue contributes to the reshaping of both our client’s personality as well as our own.

This article is a reply to the request to make available to the members my resources and responses to the questions presented on the Art of Rolfing Panel at the 1998 Annual Meeting.
