I received a ✨surprise gift🎁

It was a belated present from my former students who are currently in Phase 3.

Thank you for the artistic brooch!

🌟 Our New Class is Underway! 🌟
On August 4th, we kicked off Phase 1 of the Rolfing Certification Program—the very first step in a 3-phase journey to becoming a Certified Rolfer™.
Over the next 7 weeks, we’ll watch our students grow into excellent new practitioners!

In the afternoons, I’m leading Skillful Touch (hands-on practice) and Rolf Movement (a sensory-based functional approach).
Can’t wait to see all the changes and breakthroughs that will unfold.
Cheer us on! 🙌

🦋 Phase 2 Completion Update 🦋（日本語は下に）
Our Phase 2 class at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute has come to a close.

Becoming a Rolfer involves three Phases, and this journey can be beautifully compared to the metamorphosis of a butterfly.

🌱 Phase 1 is like the caterpillar stage — voraciously consuming knowledge and foundational skills.
🪹 Phase 2 is the chrysalis — diving inward, integrating Rolfing both as giver and receiver.
🦋 Phase 3 is when the cocoon breaks open and the wings begin to spread — the transformation into a butterfly begins.

In this Phase 2, 16 students journeyed together through eight intense and transformative weeks.
They laughed, cried, wrestled with challenges, supported one another, and made it to the final day.
Through receiving and offering Rolfing, they went through not just physical but emotional transformation.

Having witnessed their growth since the very first day of Phase 1, I am truly amazed by the changes I see in them now.
We are not only cultivating technique — we are nurturing the whole human being.
Now, I can clearly see The Line emerging within each of them.

On the final day, in the excitement and emotion, we forgot to take a group photo (!),
so instead, I’m sharing a photo of the butterfly cards and the orchid they gifted me. 🌸🦋

And next month, in August, a brand new class of eager Phase 1 “caterpillars” will begin their journey.
More transformation awaits here in Boulder.

I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to my teaching team — Tara, who guided the Principles Week, and Michael, who supported Weeks 2 through 8. I truly could not have made it to this day without their partnership and presence.
My gratitude also goes to the wonderful office staff who supported us behind the scenes and helped this class flow with care and steadiness.

With deep gratitude and awe for this work,
Nobu



🦋 Phase 2 修了のご報告 🦋
Dr. Ida Rolf InstituteでのPhase 2クラスが、先日無事に終了しました。

ロルファーになるための道のりは3つのPhaseで構成されています。
その歩みは、まるで蝶の変態のプロセスのようです。

🌱 Phase 1は、知識をむしゃむしゃと吸収する青虫の段階。
🪹 Phase 2は、自分自身の内面と向き合いながら深く潜っていく、サナギの時期。
🦋 そしてPhase 3では、固い殻を破って羽を広げ、本当の意味での「変容」が始まります。

今回のPhase 2では、16名の生徒たちが8週間にわたり、学び、揺れ動き、ときに笑い、涙し、仲間と励まし合いながら歩んできました。
自分自身がワークを受け、施しながら、肉体的にも精神的にも大きなチャレンジを乗り越えた日々。
最終日、彼らの中に確かに“The Line”が見えました。

私はPhase 1の初日から彼らを見守ってきました。
この数ヶ月での変容は本当に目を見張るものがあります。
私たちが育てているのは、技術だけではなく、「人間そのもの」なのだと、改めて実感しています。

ちなみに…最終日、写真を撮るのをすっかり忘れてしまいました！
なので、皆んなからもらった蝶のカードと、胡蝶蘭の写真を代わりにシェアします🌸🦋

そして来月8月からは、新しいPhase 1クラス、つまり元気な青虫たちの旅が始まります。
また、新たな出会いと変容が、ここBoulderで繰り広げられていくことでしょう。

また、プリンシプルズ・ウィークを指導してくれたタラ、そして 2 週目から 8 週目までサポートしてくれたミヒャエル、そして私のティーチングチームにも、心から感謝しています。彼らの協力と存在がなければ、今日までたどり着くことはできなかったでしょう。
また、舞台裏で私たちをサポートし、このクラスを丁寧かつ着実に進行させてくれた素晴らしいオフィススタッフにも、心から感謝しています。

このワークに対する深い感謝と畏敬の念を込めて。

🎂To celebrate the birthday of Dr. Rolf, the founder of Rolfing®,
I'm offering free Rolfing for Kids sessions now through May 20th! 🎁✨

Kicking off the celebration today, we welcomed an 8-year-old boy for his fourth session.
As he played with a ball in the lobby, I observed his movements: when reaching for something with his left arm, he extended it smoothly—but with his right arm, his whole torso tilted to the side. Hmm… interesting!

We invited him onto the massage table, where he easily received his Rolfing session with ease.
His mom told us he’s loved being gently massaged since he was little, and sure enough, he seemed right at home.

I worked through the right wrist, shoulder, back, and neck restrictions.
After the session, his shoulders were beautifully balanced—what a relief 😊
And it seemed like even his ball play improved with the change in his arms!

Thank you for receiving Rolfing with such openness.
And a little early, but heartfelt—
🎉Happy Birthday, Dr. Rolf🎉
Your legacy continues to support little bodies in big ways.

📢 We’re offering one free session per day
for a child (ages 0–10)through May 20th.
To reserve your spot, visit our website,
select Free Consultation,and leave a note saying
you’d like to schedule a session for your child.

The days are getting warmer, and you can almost feel spring.
Are you finding yourself wanting to move more? After months of winter stiffness, now is the perfect time to loosen up and get your body moving with Rolfing®.

Spring is a time of transition, making it ideal for resetting and aligning your body. Take this opportunity to give yourself the care you deserve!

I’ve created a quick and easy self-care video showing you how to practice a simple sacrum massage anytime, anywhere.

This technique can help:
✅ Improves circulation

It’s a small habit that can make a big difference in your feelings. Give it a try and let me know how it feels for you. I’d love to hear about your experience!

Wow! I'll keep this as a reminder for myself.

🎉Happy New Year, everyone🎉

I’m so excited to be back in the studio today, kicking off sessions and looking ahead to my spring and summer plans. I truly hope you’re stepping into this year with the health and energy you need to pursue what you really want. And if you feel you need a little extra support, let’s talk during your next session.

I believe that many of the pains and discomforts we feel can be transformed with awareness. After all, those challenges didn’t just arrive out of nowhere—they’ve been cultivated by how we live and move.

Rolfing® is often described as “a re-education of the body.” It’s like rediscovering the value of health after it’s been compromised. When your body, mind, and center are aligned, you’ll notice just how incredible you can feel.

Why not step into the new year and discover a new you?
I can’t wait to see you soon!

P.S. I hope the powerful energy of the first Sunrise 2025 reaches you.

I did a 5-day Facebook Live event a year ago called “Rolfing at Home.” I've edited the self-care ideas I introduced there and made an eBook (in Japanese). https://www.canva.com/design/DAF2xObEKak/msXMQ7T9KAT1km_XmJRw-g/view?utm_content=DAF2xObEKak&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h864fac395c

Are you interested in this free eBook?
If many people would be happy to have it, I suggest making an English version, too. Please feel free to leave a comment with what you think.

I am currently auditing the Rolfing®︎ Advanced Training. Please understand that sessions are only available on weekdays or weekends in the evenings.🙏

I took the Rolfing Advanced Training in 2007, and now, 17 years later, I am again attending the Advanced Training. What a treasure!💎

The content is so rich and dense that it's hard to put into words, and I'm getting a buzz daily from it. We were introduced to effective approaches to the atlas and sacrum on the first and second days. I'm already excited to try them out on clients!
Look forward to it!👍

It’s hard to believe, but today, October 6th, marks my "Rolfer birthday"!

24 years ago, or maybe even longer, I began this journey. I've learned so much from every person I've had the privilege to work with, and I'm deeply grateful to each of you.

Moving to Boulder 12 years ago brought new opportunities, especially with my increased involvement in teaching at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute. I found myself studying Rolfing all over again to better guide my students, and these years of teaching have been filled with growth and rewarding experiences.

As one Rolfer, my impact may be small. But I truly believe that we can create meaningful change together as more Rolfers share their skills worldwide.

I’ll continue with personal sessions and teaching—two wheels that keep me going. Thank you to everyone I’ve met along the way and to those I’ve yet to meet. I look forward to many more years of connection and growth.

Here’s to the journey ahead!

My dream has come true. I participated in Hiro (Hiroyoshi Tahata)'s workshop and experienced Hara and Ma. The interpreter was Tomoko Baldridge. He shared with us a method of gently and noninvasively guiding the client's system to comfort. It isn't straightforward to explain that method in a few words.
http://yielding.work/index.html

The session I experienced was like lying at the bottom of a deep sea, feeling at rest. Tiny movements appeared and disappeared in various parts of my body, and I gradually sank into the bed. It was as if all the fluids in my body were expanding like a single drop. After that, I slowly returned to the gravitational field, sat down, and stood up, and it was as if I was in a new body.
Since last weekend, I have been blending this idea into my Rolfing sessions and feeling good results. The world of yielding is still profound. Why not come and experience it for yourself?
