Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.  For all who have died for us,

Thank you.

Aligning the rider brings about:

Enhanced balance

Increased awareness of the rider’s body

Improved connection between rider’s carriage and the carriage and behavior of the horse

Valuable communication between horse and rider

Being able to move with the horse with ease.

Structural Integration was designed to give your body more flexibility, more control of your body, giving you an awareness of how you move and where it comes from. Once your body is balanced it is much easier to have your horse understand where you want him to go. Your movement coincides with your horses, making communication easier.

If you want to be old, be old.  Shrinking, bent over, dowager’s hump to name a few.  Our picture of the elderly is a body that is breaking down.  Things ‘fall apart’.  Adding years to your chronological age doesn’t mean you have to adhere to the general consensus of what ‘old’ is.

A multitude of conditions can be attributed to ‘old age’ but old age is a catch all phrase.  We want erect posture with flexible limbs and  joints, balance, stability.  These are things we can work toward.  

Structural Integration assists the body in becoming malleable, flexible, balanced.  The force of gravity doesn’t weigh the body down.  The structure works with the gravitational pull to keep the body erect and aligned.  This brings hope to the person and paves the way for

more change and a positive attitude.  You look and feel more relaxed.  You don’t have to work so hard to stand up.  Your body can be transformed with Structural Integration.  We can then welcom
e the prospect of becoming more advanced in years with the wisdom we gain, the agility we maintain and the joy of moving freely.

Structural Integration is an inside job.  See how:

Here is an example of how things can be changed by Structural Integration.    The before:

See the video below which will show the process:

Note that the results are lasting.  The body, in this case, the feet, will continue to adjust to their situation and begin to incorporate or integrate this change with the rest of the leg and up into the hip.  More work will solidify this and help keep the changes and continue the growth.

This is the change though by no means the final:

Ida Rolf called her 10 series session as ‘the recipe’.  I have wondered why.  Pondering this, I figured this out to my satisfaction which makes so much sense to me.

When you bake a cake, for example, you don’t stop with putting flour into a bowl and then putting sugar next to it, then butter, then eggs, etc. fully mixed batter This will not make anything near a cake.  The chemical reaction and blending of these ingredients, however, will.

 

 

 

So it needs to be mixed together.  Not even a partial mix will do unless you want uneven texture and taste.

 

 

 

 

All of the ingredients need to be thoroughly blended so that the chemical reactions can occur, the texture and flavors are consistent.

 

 

 

 

 

Then in the oven it goes to have the raw product which began as parts or pieces and was put into a whole, to be further integrated in the oven until there is a finished product…a cake.

 

 

 

 

The body begins as a disorganized thing that often works one part independently of the other.  This makes for an efficient, cumbersome, inflexible one.

With Structural Integration, the body’s parts become more pliable, becoming more homogenous and ordered into a balanced whole.

 

 

This putting together of the body has its reward in that it works as a whole, with itself and further with the Earth’s gravitational pull.

The body then continues to integrate, building strength, flexibility and resilience, producing freedom of movement and freedom from pain.

 

We are the finished product of putting ourselves together.  How fortunate there is a technique like this.

Let your structure work FOR you

In Ida Rolf speak it is  “align’, “unravel”, “lengthen” , “balance”.  We want to bring it back to health.  We also want to re-align, reorganize and unwind the pieces of the body.  Then integrate it so that there is a whole balanced structure.

Structural Integration is one of the foremost ways to do this.   There are two concepts.  Integrating the body with itself.  Integrating it within the gravitational field.  The body can then function as a whole and work with gravity, not have gravity work against it.

I want my clients to feel the space inside, the flexibility and ease of movement.  This healing takes on a life of its own.  The body comes alive.
