Rolfing Movement Integration (RMI)

Spinoff of Rolfing whose groundwork was laid in the 1960s and 1970s by Dorothy Nolte (a Rolfer) and Judith Aston, the dancer who developed Aston-Patterning and Aston Movement. RMI somewhat resembles the Alexander Technique; both involve a "teacher" who gives tactile and oral guidance to a "student" (in the Alexander Technique, also called a "pupil"). An alleged effect of RMI is the experience of a "transformation of energy"--the release (very possibly "chaotic") of "energy" the body stored.
