AlexanderTechnique as a Pathway to Healthy Choices

Workshop Presentation
Harvey Thurmer  

F.M. Alexander (1869-1955), developer of the Alexander Technique, introduced an educational method to recognize and re-direct habitual movement patterns that mitigate against health and well being. The technique has become well established in training programs for performing artists and is now finding it's way into the consciousness of healthcare professionals, athletes, and really all professions. The proposed workshop will begin with group activities common to all, (picking something up from the floor, getting up out of a chair) and progress to more complex movements to illustrate the indivisible nature of the mind-body connection. Since ll movement is the result of thinking, what we think, is what we get.
