DiscoverEase in Movement – Introduction to the Alexander Technique
This workshop is about discovery: discovery of how you can move and balance with ease, free of tension, stiffness or pain. We’ll explore whole body coordination based on a healthy head-spine relationship that supports innate freedom of movement. You’ll learn how to release unwanted tension and change unconscious patterns of posture and movement naturally to rediscover ease, flexibility and freedom. Mari gives hands-on guidance to incorporate these concepts in activity. The discoveries you make in this class will also help you to prevent strain and injury.
