Allow muscle tissue to let go and lengthen ease-fully to make everyday movement less stressful. Access the means to “think in activity” to make change and undo unhealthy or unhelpful movement patterns.
In this 2-day workshop we’ll slow things down. A slower pace is a valuable tool for investigation. It allows for the release of unwanted muscular effort to get to a deeper state of quiet and comfort, both in activity and at rest. We’ll take our time to explore where movement happens in our bodies, becoming attuned to the range of motion in our joints and spine. This level of specificity invites greater connectivity between all our moving parts. It supports a more coordinated, unified experience of being and moving in the world.
This workshop is a hybrid approach to the Alexander Technique. Rachel also brings principles and movement explorations from other methods and techniques she’s studied in her 30 plus years as a dance artist, somatic practitioner, and perennial student of many movement forms.
Please note: we will spend a lot of time moving and resting on the floor in this workshop. You’ll want to be comfortable doing so with minimal support. Yoga mats and head supports will be provided.
No prior experience with Alexander Technique necessary. Some previous experience with movement will be helpful, but not required.
