Alexander Technique Mini Series: Embodying Ease in Motion

Whether we are dancing, working at the computer, singing a song, brushing our teeth or walking to the store, we possess an inherent capacity to move naturally. Moving naturally promotes ease, flexibility, power and expressiveness. Unwittingly, we often interfere with our anatomical design. Energy, poise and ease give way to effort, tension and fatigue.

The Alexander Technique gives us a working knowledge of the principles governing human coordination. The Alexander Technique teaches us to be, at once, relaxed and ready, soft and strong, light and substantial, firm and flexible. Through study, we become capable of redirecting excessive effort into useful energy. Becoming more effortlessly upright, we also find ourselves coming down to the ground, to a place where we can function simply, comfortably and appreciatively. 

F.M. Alexander evolved a way of using his hands that effortlessly and powerfully brought people into contact with their innate coordination and support. In all classes, gentle touch will be used to reconnect participants with their innate coordination. We will also play games in order to get to know our true anatomical design and explore movement.
