Alexander Technique & Movement
working together

The workshop introduces the guiding principles of the Alexander Technique. We focus on embodying Alexander's central premises for increasing awareness and freedom in movement: Simple OBSERVATION of Self - becoming curious, no judgment; PAUSING momentarily to allow ourselves to respond in the moment rather than react habitually; and CHOOSING to move with consciousness, with our body's design, rather than against it.

Activities will include: simple movement studies promoting integration and flexibility; sensory awareness studies; contemplation of our dynamic skeletal structure; everyday life movements explored from an Alexander perspective; and simple movement improvisations. Designed for people new to Alexander, as well as for those who have studied it previously and wish to review and deepen their understanding.
