From The PublisherThis book is a collection of writings on principles and techniques by the pioneers of bodywork and body awareness disciplines. Together, they represent a historical record of the field of somatics. Ranging from hands-on workers like Ida Rolf to phenomenologist Elizabeth Behnke, their lives span this century. In these lectures, writings, and interviews, editor Don Hanlon Johnson has sought to reveal the unbroken lineage, theoretical differences, and major similarities of these originators.Table of Contents IntroductionElsa Gindler3Gymnastik for People Whose Lives Are Full of Activity5Charlotte Selver15Interview with Charlotte Selver17Carola Speads23Interview with Carola Speads25Excerpts from Ways to Better Breathing36Marion Rosen51Excerpts from The Rosen Method53Ilse Middendorf65Interview with Ilse Middendorf67Preface to The Perceptible Breath74F.
