Alexander Technique is a method for developing capacities of organism's self-regulation. It is enhancing one’s mental, physical and emotional wellbeing by learning about and changing our habits that reduce performance.
The founder of the technique is an Australian actor Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869-1955).
This workshop is an in-depth introduction. The workshop is mainly a practical experience of maintaining a regulated nervous system in gentle movement (sitting, standing, walking, balancing feathers, ball games etc). Full theory of the technique is learnt on the basis of the hands-on experience and through questions that stem from your personal experience. Anatomical models will be used for deeper learning.
