Heather Walker is pleased to offer an introductory Alexander Technique workshop to the Aviva choir in Nanaimo in February 2026. Group workshops are a way to explore basic ideas about our natural movement design and how we can move and live with more ease and balance. We often interfere with these natural movements through bad habits, tension, and lack of awareness about what we’re doing with ourselves.

In a group choir workshop we explore basic principals about support, balance, tension & ease, and our interference with our head, neck and back relationship, to name a few. We also relate this to our use of voice and singing, how we stand, and how we “re-set” or recuperate after an activity. We include a lying-down activity on mats to learn relaxation and how to allow lengthening of the torso and neck.

Workshops for all different focus groups are a great introduction to the Alexander Technique. Ideally workshops are limited to smaller groups, so that individuals have the opportunity to participate in activities, ask questions and get feedback. Alexander Technique workshops include movement activities, visual learning, kinesthetic feedback, and sharing of observations.  Workshops can be formulated according to the specific situation and venue. Please contact Heather for more information.
