Alexander Work is the study of the quality of your life.
It teaches you how to make profound, conscious, life-altering choices – beyond rules or expectations, beyond both habit and knowledge.
Imagine being able to access both your body’s innate intelligence and your mind’s ability to make new choices, to form a personal tool for creating the quality of life you choose.
Part consciousness & part innate coordination.
Whether you consider yourself a ‘thinker’ or a ‘mover’, or both, Alexander Work provides simple, effective tools for noticing and changing your habitual ways of being in the world – in your job, your family, and your Self.
• Learn to transform excess tension into useful energy.
• Learn to recognize the beliefs that you are literally ‘wearing’ from your past and replace them to fit who you choose to be now.
• Learn to alter habitual responses and behaviors into appropriate reactions.
Alexander Technique, the ‘Work’ based on the principles of F.M. Alexander, is a practical, hands-on study of the principles of coordination, movement, habit, and awareness, which teaches you how to release pain and tension, rediscover excellence, ease, strength, flexibility, grace, and joy, and realize conscious choice in every activity of life.
It is a quintessential tool for living with conscious vitality in today’s world.
This one day workshop is open to all – every body and every mind. You will find something for yourself, whether you are completely new to the Work or a lifelong student of it.
