- Valerie Luoto, Michael Toms and Darsa Nickelson
Article AbstractMarion Rosen was one of the first to discover the relationship between our emotional lives and the condition of our bodies. She developed a system of bodywork so effective that clients release old emotional pain, their relationships improve, and their work life becomes better. As she explains, "By relaxing the muscles, what comes up is some of these [painful] experiences. Instead of holding them down and trying to forget about them, you can handle them." The results are more far reaching than even Ms. Rosen initially expected. She's discovered that real physical and emotional release changes the way people live, and even makes a difference in the lives of their family members and all the people they touch day-to-day.Author BiographyValerie Luoto is a Rosen Method practitioner and teacher. Practicing bodywork since 1977, Valerie has studied with Marion Rosen since 1992, and co-taught with Marion since 2001.

Article AbstractPublished in Conscious Dancer, Winter, 2011
This article gives you a feel for a Rosen Movement class, some background as to how it was created and why it is so effective.Author BiographyCertified Rosen Method Bodywork Senior Training Teacher
Certified Rosen Method Movement Teacher
I was born and raised in France where I completed my MA in Clinical Psychology. In 1971, I went to India and had a Kundalini awakening, through direct touch that changed my life and the focus of my quest. I landed in my body and realized its sacredness as the locus of the divine within. I would spend the next 12 years deepening this initial experience steeped in the practices of meditation, yoga, chanting, and Indian and Sufi dance. Eventually I needed to integrate the teachings of western psychology with the body's revelations. That is when I moved to Berkeley, California where I encountered what I was looking for: Rosen Method bodywork and movement. Since 1989, I have been in private practice in Berkeley, CA, and since 1996 I have been teaching Rosen Method programs in the US and Europe. I also teach Rosen Method Movement classes and I continue to practice meditation, yoga, Continuum movement and Authentic dance to stay connected to the inner Self.
