Title
Alexander Technique in San Francisco & Berkeley with Elyse Shafarman -
Description
In lessons, students learn how to stop automatic tension habits, with a particular focus on releasing harmful tension in the neck, jaw, shoulders and back. Simultaneously, students learn how to reorganize movement by naturally lengthening the spine.
During a lesson, the teacher uses guiding touch to heighten body awareness and help students identify and release unconscious holding patterns. Everyday activities, which might range from sitting, standing and walking, to singing, presentation skills, yoga, or sports are the subject matter for exploration. Lessons also include a table session, which helps integrate new kinesthetic and sensory experiences. Afterwards, students often feel as if they have emerged from a chrysalis of tension, lighter in body and mind, with a more authentic connection to the self.
Alexander Teachers are required to complete 1600 hours of continuous training. This ensures expertise in movement analysis and a special quality of touch that one student described as, "contagious with spaciousness and coordination."
