Nikki and I sat down to talk with Jim Asher and learn some history of both Dr Ida Rolf and the work she laid out... Lots of good and largely unheard stories included here.

The sound quality did not come out as great as it was being in person, and while we do apologize for this, the quality of content that Jim shares is beyond priceless. There was also a street performer outside and you'll hear occasionally people cheering for him.

In doing the editing, I decided to keep much of the talk as it was. While some stories repeat and some are circuitous, they are real and as stated from Jim himself and it felt important to me to keep it this way. 

This is a longer than usual talk of ours and may be best enjoyed in sectional doses.
