Ida P. Rolf Quotes

"Strength that has effort in it is not what you need; you need the strength that is the result of ease." ~ Ida Rolf

"Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity." ~ Ida Rolf

"The body is solid material wrapped around the breath" ~ Ida Rolf

"Practitioners of SI do not feel ourselves to be therapists. The gravitational field is the therapist. What we do is prepare the body to receive the support from the gravitational field which gives a greater sense of well being." ~ Ida Rolf
