About the Guild

Continuing the inquiry into the original recipe

Our instructors were trained by Peter Melchior, Neal Powers, and Emmett Hutchins — first-generation instructors trained by Dr. Ida Rolf herself. We pass on what was passed to us, unchanged and unmodified, to the next generation of practitioners across Europe.

01

Original Recipe Only

No additions or modifications from other modalities. The ten-session series exactly as Ida Rolf intended.

02

First-Generation Lineage

A faculty whose lineage traces directly to Dr. Rolf through her first students — unrivaled depth in Europe.

03

Economy-Adjusted Tuition

Priced relative to where in Europe you live and intend to practice, making training accessible across the continent.

"The strongest sentiment I took home was the humility in which we were taught. Never before in physiotherapy have I encountered this — an incredible appreciation for the student."
Petra Štíchovà · Graduate
"In a clear form, we received a recipe for a series of 10 SI sessions. But that was not the most important thing. Thanks to the personality and warmth of Aleš Urbanczik and Adam Polański, I felt safe going through the difficult path of learning SI. They showed us how to let ourselves move in the sea of uncertainty and trust intuition and what we feel under our hands."
Michał Dzierzgwa · Graduate
