Joy in Movement

The Alexander Technique (AT) is a scientifical educational method. It uses a series of principles that when embodied, allow one to have a full kinesthetic experience and a more meaningful relationship to one’s surroundings and to one’s movement throughout the day.

Lesson Objectives – A Lifelong Journey

A lesson in Body Mapping is highly encouraged before exploring the specific AT Principles.

Guidance With a Teacher—Thinking “in” activity

• Develop one’s own sense of Kinesthetic awareness.
• Strategies for moving with greater ease in any activity, in essence, movement throughout your entire day.
• Request specific daily activities: walking, running, getting in and out of a chair, driving a car, putting on socks, making the bed, working at one’s computer, and cooking (especially chopping!).
• Identify Habits that interfere with movement
• Decrease muscle tension.
• Develop a heightened sense of awareness.
• Learning to “Pause” to encourage awareness.
• Direct your new strategies for movement and awareness as best you can.

Group Lessons are a way to incorporate all of the above in a safe atmosphere. The advantage to a Group Lesson is that you learn from your colleagues through observation and thoughtful conversation.

Masterclasses and Workshops

• These can be geared more towards a specific audience or activity.
  • For example, I have done masterclasses for musicians (specific instruments or area), puppeteers (puppeteering and construction), acting, and dance (modern and ballet).
• Breath (the structures and movement of breathing)—understanding how it works, what moves what, and how we can be much more efficient in our breathing in any activity.
• Explorations of Mr. Alexander’s Principles.
