SOLO sessions

online and in-person

Do you ever feel caught in habits you wish you could change, but you don't know how? Do you have physical pain or tension you cannot find a consistent, longterm solution for? Do you mentally beat yourself up or compare yourself to an ideal self? Alexander Technique offers you the tools to gain a new perspective about your repetitive day-to-day experiences, so that you can learn how to make new choices that will change your experiences, one moment at a time. 

Alexander Technique is a mind-body integrative learning practice. Through discussion and activities, I will guide you to discover how your thinking patterns and your concept of your self may be creating patterns of use in your body that might be causing pain, discomfort, poor performance or restricted ability to carry out tasks and achieve your goals. Unlike yoga or physical therapy, Alexander Technique directly examines your patterns in your everyday activities: whether that is sitting in a chair at a desk for hours, auditioning in front of casting directors or riding the subway to work carrying a heavy bag. You will learn simple practices that you can apply to your everyday life to improve your efficiency, your relationship to gravity, and your energy levels , so that you can achieve your goals with more ease and joy.

Topics may include: human anatomy, walking, sitting, standing, relationship to iPhone/computer, relationship to the space around you, finding kinaesthetic resources, examining assumptions and ideas of self, using tension well, pausing, making choices, authentic movement, recognizing habitual patterns, freeing your mind and body of habitual patterns, observing past experiences from the present moment, observing future goals from the present moment, improving your efficiency at a certain task, working with gravity well, finding pleasure in movement, changing your perspective through conscious choice, discovering new options of thinking habits, unraveling habitual motor neuron pathways, finding deep respect for your true self as you are and shedding your story in favour of your reality. 

Or if you prefer, just lie down on the table and let me work directly with your fascia!
