Alexander Technique: Ongoing weekly introductory class
Monday lunchtimes
in Brixton, London SW2
with Tanya Shoop

Times: Every Monday 12.30pm to 1.30pm from 9th May 2011

Venue: Yogapoint, 122 Dalberg Road, Brixton, London SW2 1AP

Cost: £9

The body is an extraordinary design but can get a bit off kilter through unhelpful habits that build up over time or through injuries. Replacement parts aren’t that easy to find and so it’s a good idea to make the best out of what we’ve got rather than waiting for things to go awry. The Alexander Technique is a very practical approach to relearn how to get the balance, freedom and ease we had as young children. It teaches people how to improve their posture, get strong backs and greater body awareness.

In this ongoing weekly class, we will look at a whole range of themes to build up an awareness and insight into the more natural use of the body and mind. I will keep to the basic principles each week for those who come on an occasional basis but will be developing themes in more depth for those who wish to come regularly.

Each week will be very participative with a mixture of discussion, activities and observation. The classes will be practical and informative, but fun and relaxed too. Over time, we’ll explore things including:

• the importance of the head, neck and back relationship,
• how we can move and breathe with less effort,
• how to reduce muscular tension,
• how to improve posture,
• coping with stress better,
• using ourselves as a whole – mind and body,
• experimenting with a new approach to everyday activities,
• pausing and how this can help catch unhelpful habits,
• finding parts in your brain and body you didn’t know existed!
