Dr. Ida P. Rolf's was a Biochemist who developed the Structural Integration method of bodywork -or "Rolfing".  Her studies have
largely influenced the development of the Structural Integration Studio. The concepts practiced and taught both in the bodywork sessions and yoga classes here are based on her studies.
Rolf showed that when the body is in proper alignment with the earths' gravitation force then it has the most available energy to heal itself.  This is not a new wave concept but is actually based on physics and ground reaction force as it relates to Newton's third law: for every action there is an equal an opposite re-action. 
The best and simplest example of how gravity can effect a body and how a body can adjust to the pull of gravity is the Saguaro cactus....  

Picture
When a Saguaro begins to grow, it grows straight up. This is because it is very close to the earths gravity. However  when the ground is slanted and the force of gravity is no longer directly under it, the cactus will grow "arms" to counter the force of gravity pulling it towards the earth.  This is an innate form of protection to keep it from breaking against the force of gravity.  It will continue to adjust to the imbalances throughout its life and over time we see limbs growing in all kinds of seemingly random and peculiar ways.  
In this way our bodies do the same thing...  

Picture
As we adjust the way we hold our skeleton to compensate for pain, injury, emotion, disease or genetic deviations our tissues and bones will begin to remodel to help us stay up right.  However this also causes blocks, pain and an increased amount of exertion as more energy is required to move our bodies. As a result we can become sick, tired and emotionally drained which will result in a lack of energy to live life...

The saving grace of all of this is, if the body can be remodeled out of the the structural objective, it can also be remodeled back into the structural objective!
We can do this through bodywork and yoga. We can align the skeletal system with our planets gravitational force.  This will create a body that allows energy to move through it with ease creating an ability to heal and live a  peaceful existence body, mind and spirit.
