Alexander Technique
Class | CLASS FULL - Email info@lifelonglearningcollaborative.org to be added to the waitlist.
The Alexander Technique is a form of self-care that addresses posture, balance and pain relief. It teaches you to think about how you move and carry yourself with the least amount of strain. You don’t need any particular physical skills for this class, just an open and curious mind.
Format: There will be discussion, question and answer time, and learning Alexander ‘directions’ that apply to how you sit (at a computer, in front of the TV, with a book), walk and do other daily activities. You will be asked to be aware of some of your movements during the week.
Resources/Expenses: Mara will provide the names of some Alexander books, links to articles and YouTube videos you may wish to review. There will be an optional lying-down section each week that requires a yoga mat or towel.
Participation in this class is at your own risk. Registrants will receive a waiver to sign upon registration. Look for the waiver link in your registration confirmation email.
