Aleš Urbanczik interview with Steve Mache from the Association Française de Rolfing
Our graduates usually have a great experience
"The strongest sentiment I took home with me was the humility in which we were taught. Never before, in no workshop or class in the field of physiotherapy, have I ever encountered this. It was always a teacher-student relationship, with an incredible power imbalance often bordering on contempt for the student. I have an enormous appreciation for the humility in which we were taught."
Petra Štíchová
"I had a chance to come back, review and practice the great original 10 sessions and also learn a logical progression of the original series with the appropriate movement for each of them.... and finally refine and simmer that into the Advanced Series. Neal Powers and Aleš Urbanczik are great teachers and fun to be around. Great idea of gathering graduates from all SI schools and adjusting course price according to practitioners income/location. Thanks for making it possible."
Mariusz Kurkowski
"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."
