Touching Into Presence with Michael Polon
Updated: Jan 4, 2021
Michael Polon is a Certified Advanced Rolfer and faculty member at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute. His approach to manual and movement therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and client experience. While these aspects of our work are often minimized or overlooked, Michael shows that they are fundamental to the changes commonly seen in SI practice.
Michael was one of my first SI teachers and has been a mentor to me in the years since. We collaborated on a textbook chapter that I'm proud of and highly recommend as an overview of a modern, science-based approach to structural integration. In this podcast, it's a delight hearing Michael speak to the nuances of the present moment clinical experience.
