DR ROBERT ROWLAND, ND
Atlanta, Georgia Phone: 404.451.8881 E-email RCRowland@gmail.com Dr Robert Rowland is founder and director of Integrated Body Works. He is a Naturopath, Yogi, and an avid practitioner/teacher of GeoTran and the GeoTran Way. A Naturopath is a Doctor that treats holistically, or in other words, seeks and treats the CAUSE of dis-ease or im-balance an individual is experiencing. Robert’s background includes an in-depth study of Herbal Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Touch for Health, Cranial Sacral Therapy, a variety of massage techniques, and GeoTran. He has studied and applied the GeoTran Way since 1992.
He is an expert yogi with a daily Asana practice since 1988. Asana is an exercise or posture in the yogic system. The word asana translates from Sanskrit as, “to sit still”. Scripture says, “Be still and know that I AM God. I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth-Psalms 46:10.” The postures can be viewed as containers for the breath, and when practiced with precision and alignment they stretch specific muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Also each posture has a beneficial effect on a system, area, organ, and gland.
Robert draws from the ancient systems of Astanga and Iyengar Yoga. Both are styles of HATHA Yoga. The word yoga means “union”, “to yolk”, or “to unite”. Be ye evenly yoked! In addition, HA is masculine or Sun, and THA is feminine or moon. Thus, HATHA YOGA is “the union of the masculine and feminine” within the individual. HATHA YOGA is also known as “the yoga of physical exercise”.
Astanga is a set series of postures designed to build strength, endurance, and flexibility. The postures are linked to the breath into a vinyasa or flow. Iyengar focuses on precision and alignment with the use of props such as belts, wooden or rubber blocks, and blankets. Robert integrates the two with GeoTran into a style that de-stresses the individual while building strength, flexibility, and liberation of breath. This may appeal especially to athletes, or anyone that wants an inner and outer work-out. He is a living example that you can have a rigorous practice and be injury free. He can also create a program for the ones that choose a more gentle approach. “Exercise thyself to Godliness-1 Timothy 4:7-8”.
Robert can also offer massage to his clients. He works with the styles of Swedish, Deep-Tissue, Reflexology, and Thai Massage. Thai Massage is done on the floor on a mat in loose, comfortable clothing and is a combination of compressive massage, acupressure, and assisted yogic stretching. Reflexology is primarily done to the hands and/or feet by massaging and/or holding reflex points that correlate to the body’s organs and systems. Many people have said that reflexology has left them with the sensation of having had a full body massage. Deep Tissue and Swedish are usually done on a massage table and may include light to very deep touch and pressure, range of motion movement, and stretching. The Deep Tissue and Swedish usually involve the application of creams and oils that can be scented or unscented. Massage and touch can be done with GeoTran integrations as a form of goal setting. The cells respond by clearing altered memory, touch blasts the memory banks and causes/allows the computer called “you” to download new programs. All of his techniques include the language of GeoTran.
Robert loves to travel and has a Global clientele. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia and welcomes requests to travel to teach, give massage and or yoga, and share the language of GeoTran. His own journeys with God, bodywork, yoga, and GeoTran have helped him overcome digestive problems, structural imbalances, relationship issues, and financial problems. Now Robert Rowland is a dynamic, balanced, prosperous, vibrant individual living and enjoying life! He gives total praise and gratitude to God. “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower-Psalms 18:1-2.”
Who would best benefit from his services? Those individuals experiencing the above problems; honest seekers of a Higher Way; those who are excelling, want to excel more and are seeking the “next step”; athletes who desire a personal trainer with an emphasis on yoga; or any one who is just truly ready to change. Robert Rowland without a doubt is a catalyst. He knows that God does the works through him. “And Jesus looking upon them saying, with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible-Mark 10:27”.
