Relieve chronic pain with Certified Rolfer Lopa Sircar in Vancouver.

Folks! Co-facilitating any aspect of Diane Roberts' Arrivals Personal Legacy process with Diane and Rosemary Georgeson gives me BREATH and LIFE.

This work began transforming me twenty years ago and it isn't done with me yet! This work gives me steadiness and replenishes joy in my being. I call on it, especially now, in the preposterous and horrific times in which we live. This work is a salve, a restorer of courage, a celebration of past so we can plot the futures we want to achieve. Join us!

Diane Roberts, Rosemary Georgeson, and Lopa Sircar will be in Vancouver in May with Co.ERASGA! Don’t miss out.

This workshop invites you into an exploration of your root cultural voice, rhythm, and performance. Through this offering you will be invited to enter an embodied self-reflexive moment to engage your culturally storied bodies in a dynamic dance between self and other.

As a decolonising process, the Arrivals Personal Legacy process enacts an approach to research/creation that is geared toward particular centres of gravity—rooted in the body and infused by the spirit. It demands a level of engagement that asks the artist/researcher to step into a state of unknowing and to grapple with what is potentially unknowable.

You know how in Session 5 I'm always going on about the psoas as a sling that supports our walk? Here's a lovely visual and detailed description of the muscles involved in walking. You'll see that the writing refers to the iliopsoas, but as you watch the video you'll note the points at which your psoas is activated. SO AWESOME! It's my job as your Certified Rolfer to ensure your network of fascia supports your movement by sliding, gliding, and allowing your muscles to extend and contract freely. Book a session now and let's get walking!

Emotions are literally stored in your body—but not always in a physical sense by

Physically, our bodies mechanically react to certain emotional patterns, locking us into contraction during negative emotions.

For example, a depressed individual might subconsciously curve their torso, resulting in that emotional state being “stored” in the muscles and tissues responsible for the postural contraction.
But it goes deeper than that.

The human body has a measurable electromagnetic field, and our emotions function as magnetic fields within this system.

Because of fascia’s body-wide connection and semiconductive properties, it responds to these magnetic fields. This is why fascia not only facilitates communication but can also store information.

I can’t count how many times I’ve encountered patients in deep emotional states simply due to a session of myofascial release. This is the reason why.

Understand that the mind-body connection is a two-way street. The mind and body affect each other through your electromagnetic field. Fix one, and you’ll fix the other.

As a Rolfer, I work with your body's fascial system to generate ease, revive your range of motion, and restore your sense of balance and alignment. This is an excellent video to illustrate what fascia is. One of the authors of the quote, Robert Schleip, is also an incredible Rolfer.
