Today's conversation is with Ally Gonzalez
Ally was born and raised in Colombia until the age of nine. As a result of the political climate of Colombia in the early 2000’s, Ally and her family fled their homeland as a result of death threats and sought out political asylum in Canada. In middle school and high school Ally engaged in sports to balance her academic workload. At the age of 16, Ally began practicing track and field and discovered that she was a very talented runner. Her love for track and field paved a path to what is now her current life.
After graduating high school, influenced by the difficulty of overcoming sport injuries and her curiosity for movement, she went on to study an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology/human kinetics from the University of Western Ontario (London, Canada). she furthered her studies at the Guild for Structural Integration in Salt Lake City, after experiencing such profound transformation with her first Structural Integration Ten-series. Ally graduated as Structural Integration practitioner in 2018, and has been in practice since. She lives, trains and holds her practice in Bogota, Colombia serving her local community. Ally’s continual education focuses on understanding movement through the experiential lens of renowned Structural Integration practitioners such as Mary Bond and Judith Aston, the marriage of connective tissue through the speckles of Gil Hedley, and the metaphysical exploration of herself in elite athletics. Her desire for the future is to continue expanding her knowledge of structural integration while acquiring knowledge and putting together the bits and pieces from the puzzle in her ample inquiry for life. One of Ally’s ultimate life goals is to attend the Olympic games and to be an ambassador of the Structural Integration community as she gains recognition on track. This year she is training hard in hopes of qualifying for the World Championships that will take place in Oregon, USA in the month of July; making this World championship team is a stepping- stone for Ally to achieve her ultimate goal of making the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
In today's conversation we spoke about the backstory of what brought Ally to track and field and then to Structural Integration, SI with psychology, being a professional athlete and how SI has kept her healthy in this field, being a younger practitioner in a field of many older practitioners and more.

Today's talk is a little different than our usual talks as we are in conversation about former Rolfer, Actor, and Artist John Lodge. We speak with his ex-wife Margaret VanderWaerden and EGSI Founder Ales Urbanczik about who he was, how he came to this work and what marvels he has left behind.
A new book has come out from the European Guild for Structural Integration about John and the work he was given from Dr Ida Rolf. They have pieced together parts of this work with additional sections by other Structural Integrators sharing their comments and stories. It's truly a great book for the beginner and the advanced practitioner, I can't recommend enough.
We started with a little tech issues, and because of this our usual introduction has been cut off. We find our conversation beginning with Margaret talking about who John Lodge was and we just role on from there.
The book we speak about can be purchased here https://rolfguild.ch/JohnLodgeBook.html

Today's conversation is with Kevin Frank

He has worked with the Hubert Godard-derived Tonic Function model since 1991 and has written on this topic from 1995 to the present. Kevin advocates for an ‘information system’ view of structural integration, to help bring the SI field into congruence with modern understanding of motor control and perceptive/coordinative processes.
Kevin is the co-author (with Caryn McHose) of How Life Moves, Explorations in Meaning and Body Awareness (North Atlantic 2006) https://amzn.to/3ddDZKd

In today's conversation we spoke about Rolf Movement, the dichotomy of pure structural vs movement "Rolfing," Tonic Function theory, the movement brain, interdisciplinary holistic health, and a ton more. Kevin is a thoughtful, intelligent, charismatic human being and he offers quite a lot to chew on here.
