The Alexander Technique (AT) is a method of rediscovering natural balance,
ease, and poise through thinking in activity. AT brings one to the awareness
of how to use the least effort needed throughout our body in relationship to
the goals of any given moment of our lives. The result is a unity of Mind,
Body, Environment, and Intention.
It is not an exercise regime. AT is an educational method that teaches how
to improve one’s posture, balance, and coordination by changing poor
postural habits. It’s been used for over 100 years worldwide. AT helps
relieve chronic tension, stress, and stiffness; improve alertness; and
positively affect the outcome of any goal.
It can be applied to both daily activities (such as sitting, standing, walking,
lifting, using a cell phone, or working at a computer) as well as specialized
activities (such as public speaking, singing, dancing, graphic art, crafting,
sewing, knitting, hiking, playing an instrument, PT routines, yoga, tai’ chi,
exercise of any kind. Wherever you are, whatever you are striving to
achieve, AT brings ease to your body as you are achieving your intended
goal.
This three-day workshop allows for learning the technique as well as ample
time for addressing the application of the technique to specific specialized
activities of the participants. Any activity where your body is present,
Alexander Technique can bring physical ease, mental focus, and increased
effectiveness.
This retreat is a wonderful introduction for beginners as well as an
opportunity to delve deeper into the work for those who are familiar with AT.
Please wear clothing that will be comfortable for movement. If you have a
yoga mat, please bring it with you. We will have some to use if you don’t
have one.
