Today's conversation is with Mary Bond 

Mary Bond studied with Ida Rolf from 1969 to 1972. Emeritus Movement Faculty of the Rolf Institute, she has been involved in the development of movement education for SI from the early days with Judith Aston to the current evolution through the work of Hubert Godard. 

She is the author of Balancing Your Body, the New Rules of Posture, and Your Body Mandala: Posture and Presence. She has also produced a DVD: Heal Your Posture. Since 2020, Mary has been offering online workshops for SI practitioners and other somatic educators. It is her joy to share her perspective of movement education.
