Conducted by Pam Martin, Level II CORE Instructor
CORE IV, 7 days and CORE III, concurrently 6 days, explore the five-session blueprint for CORE work…basically the way to touch a body fully in five hours. During the course, students will review CORE principles, then watch tutor demonstration, work in partnerships with each other and take models through the series of sessions (for III’s one model, for IV’s two models).
CORE III and IV are run concurrently, with IV's attending one day earlier. As a group we'll focus on the learning and enhancing of the five series recipe developed by Noah.
III's will watch the instructor demonstrations of the sessions, work with another student through the series, and take one model through the series.
IV's will watch the demonstrations, work with another student, and take two models through the series.
At the culmination of the class, all are certified to use the five session recipe; IV's will have some additional training and the chance to visit the recipe in two courses.
NOTE: Ongoing support consists of access to internet support—for III’s, three personal Zoom sessions with Pam or another instructor for your concerns, and for IV’s, two personal sessions. In addition, Pam is available for email consultations and the group’s Facebook site adds information and support.

CORE III — The Five Sessions: A 56 credit class over six days; prerequisite CORE I and II, by invitation. In this class Pam introduces the five series recipe and discusses the Ida Rolf ten session recipe and how it contrasts to the work we are doing. Students observe, receive, and practice Noah's five series on each other and one model, observing one series given by CORE IV students as well if they are present in the course; and come out with a specific formula for addressing clients' body needs while enhancing their body awareness and understanding of self-imposed restrictions that can be changed. Particular attention is given to developing greater communication skills with clients. This class examines how health can be integrated into the lives of clients and students. CORE is not Rolfing! This is a specific series that accomplishes many of Rolfing's goals, but also intends to achieve different results.
CORE IV — The Final Step: A 64 hour class taken over eight days; prerequisite CORE I, II, and III and by invitation only. This class is meant to be taken at least one year after III, with practice of the five series in between. It is for serious students who want to develop and polish deeper bodywork skills, and the class is guaranteed to change both the way you think about bodies and about the recipe for five sessions learned in CORE III. Those who have completed this course understand the value of CORE IV. The CORE IV certificate is not recognized by any governing or certifying body as a terminal degree; this training is for bodyworkers who seriously want to enhance their skills, not their credentials. That said, this certificate is becoming more valued and valuable as more students are practicing and seeing the value of CORE work.
