Produktbeschreibung

BODYWORK / HEALTH "One of the most interesting and useful self-help books available." --Massage Magazine Going beyond good posture and movement efficiency, Mary Bond presents a unique self-help program of body transformation. Much of what we experience as physical tension or stress is the result of an imbalanced body. When our physical structure is habitually bent, twisted, and compressed, the body glues itself together with tension in order to remain upright. Bond demonstrates how the connective tissue that holds our bodies together is actually very flexible and will, with encouragement, adapt to new, healthy patterns of posture and movement. Rolfing Movement combines touch and verbal messages to help you become more responsive to your body's inner cues. The author offers a practical series of structural awareness exercises that will help you redirect your awareness to internal sensations of tension or balance. These movement explorations are written as scripts so that you can practice the movements with detailed directions. By learning to recognize and respond appropriately to your body's internal messages, you will discover a new freedom of expression in your body, leading to a marked increase in health and vitality. MARY BOND has a master's degree in dance from UCLA. She trained with Dr. Ida P. Rolf and is a certified Rolfer and Rolfing Movement teacher. Creator of the companion audiocassette, Balancing Your Body, she is also the author of numerous articles on bodywork and posture.
