Yoga and Alexander Technique

Through the course of our life, we develop subtle habits of movement; what we do often, our bodies tend to carry with us. It can be as small as a slight tightening in the thighs, developed after years in office chairs, or as large as a chronically engaged core, from a rigorous athletic or dance practice. Sometimes these habits serve us in our yoga practice – often the poses we feel most confident in are the ones that match how we move through the rest of our lives. But some poses ask for something different – that’s where Alexander Technique can help.
Alexander technique is a mind-body practice that gives concrete tools for changing subtle habits of movement. Cherished by actors, musicians, and dancers, it specializes in giving people increased choices for how they use their body. In this workshop, we’ll focus on how Alexander Technique can help you notice and refine your own movement habits, through an open, curious awareness, and intentional thought. This knowledge will help you avoid injury, move with increased ease, and tackle new aspects of your practice with flexibility and confidence.
