This month I have the pleasure of teaching an introductory Alexander Technique workshop for the Islands Trust northern office on Gabriola Island. A workplace focus on good movement, awareness, and ease can be beneficial to individuals and also the companies that employ them. This class is a perfect opportunity to introduce basic concepts of the Alexander Technique: ideas about fluidity of movement, efficiency of design, natural support, and how we can move without tension or strain. The class is experiential; highlighting each person’s kinaesthetic awareness, having them explore movement, and using visual and tactile learning to understand basic anatomy. It is always a lot of fun as we explore how each person can take these ideas not just into everyday work moments but also into their hobbies and other activities as well.
I am always happy to plan and deliver specialty workshops for any group, in Nanaimo, farther on Vancouver Island, or on the mainland. Please contact me for more information.
