LOL you old git. 
These people probably don't even know what Rolfing is or EST. New age movements that had their day.
It was Dick Alpert that coined the phrase "Be Here Now." He was Timothy Leary's buddy at Harvard for, again, those people who probably don't know. He went to India to find a better path instead of using drugs and wound up studying meditation under an Indian Guru . But enough of the 60's history. 
Lots of people need teachers. That was just the way they were brought up. It helps. Not everyone are self-starters. Sometimes belonging to a class motivates people more and helps them understand what they are going through. 
I agree though, that there is too much frenetic activity in people's lives. We need to slow down, and be in the moment. We need to stop chasing the almighty dollar all the time and stop chasing the dragon in terms of careers that cause people to lose a work life balance. 
Corporations are learning that well being equals production and profit. Go figure...
