We’d like to invite you to our workshop – “An Introduction to Structural Integration”. This workshop
is recommended for anybody interested in Structural Integration, especially those who’d like to take
part in the full training course of the Structural Integration Method by Dr Rolf.
The workshop is certified and licensed by the European Guild for Structural Integration. Even if you’re
planning on learning Structural Integration in a different school (European Rolfing Association or
ATSI), you’ll surely find this workshop useful.
Workshop Description
Get ready for an intense, 16-hour workshop, that will teach you a lot about the method, even before
beginning your basic training in Structural Integration. It will help you understand, what exactly the
whole process of Structural Integration consists of.
During the workshop, Piotr Szałański will demonstrate the theoretical basis of Structural Integration.
He’s known for creating an atmosphere of inquisitiveness, with a great dose of vitality and humour.
The workshop also consists of a practical section during which the participants will get to know some
basic manual techniques as well as how to visually assess a patient or client. The workshop will help
understand what the practice of Structural Integration looks like.
During the workshop we’ll discuss:
• The history of Structural Integration and it’s different schools.
• The role of connective tissue and how it behaves in the Earth’s gravitational field.
• The theory of the original 10 sessions of Structural Integration as presented by Dr Ida Rolf.
• The basics of structural analysis.
• Palpation practice and the practical implementation of manual techniques.
• A Structural Integration mini session (demo).
Participants receive a certificate of attendance and a transcript of the workshop.
You’ll go home with a much deeper understanding of human anatomy and the postural process. It’ll
also allow you to find out if Structural Integration is the path you would like to follow, and if it meets
your expectations. You’re NOT required to have already completed 10 sessions of Structural
Integration to attend this workshop.
However, the completion of the Classic 10 Sessions is necessary before beginning the full (2 year)
training in the Structural Integration Method by Dr Ida Rolf. We will publish the exact dates in the
near future.
