Today's conversation is with Hiroyoshi Tahata.
Hiro has worked as a Rolfer since 1998. He joined the Rolf Movement faculty of the Rolf Institute® in 2009. He brings to this work a depth of creativity and understanding that integrates the principles of structure and function through a gentle and non-invasive approach to transformation. His background in biochemistry clearly bridges the inquiry between science and art. From his experience with doctors, Hiro understood that it is possible to heal a living organism with very little stimulation.
The essence of the Art of Yield came out of his collaboration with his mentor, Carol Agneessens. With the support of his mentor and much clinical research with clients, Hiro found a way to incorporate the Art of Yield into the 10 series of Rolfing.
In collaboration with Yojiro Katayama, the originator of Migama Seitai, Hiro continues to explore the art of incorporating the Japanese concept of 'ma'. His latest work, uses 'ma' to promote a profound experience and physical geometric balance ; to find out more and see before and after photos from the work, visit https://yielding.work/
Hiro provides Rolf Movement® certification program and continues to study/teach Spatial Somatics and the Art of Yield with his colleagues internationally.
In today's conversation we spoke about Hiro’s path to today, what yield is to Hiro (and me), safety and spatial awareness, I share a story of my experience of receiving Hiro’s work, and a moment of closure in Hiro’s mother tongue and the difference of embodied speech.
This was a very enjoyable conversation to me as we were navigating language differences, language processing time relations and cultural relations towards speaking. I had to be in a different relation to how I spoke and listened with Hiro, and this was really a gift for me in a reminder of how to be in space with someone. Thank you for that Hiro! Because of the importance of space here I purposely left more of the space between speakers in than I usually do when I edit as it felt very important to me to also get a sense of Hiro and his approach. This episode will have a different tempo than others and we hope that this brings another type of experience for you as well.
