Alexander Meditation and Walking
24th May to May 31st 2008
This course is for anyone from beginners or experienced teachers. Our theme will be the relationship of the Technique to
walking and to meditation in order to benefit us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We will experiment with
a variety of ideas for you to learn for your own benefit or to use in your own teaching practice. We will explore how to
take a step and the lunge and how to teach walking to your own students. Teachers will learn how to develop your student’s
awareness in motion. All these ideas are great for runners too.
In a classic Tuscan landscape we will spend a week working and relaxing eating fantastic organic home made italian food.
