Evolving the Alexander Technique: Attunement, Capacity, and Teaching in a New Era
Many of us feel that something has shifted in our students, our colleagues, and ourselves since the pandemic. The familiar maps of Alexander work still guide us, yet the terrain we are walking is not the same. This workshop offers a place to meet that change with curiosity instead of certainty.
Across three days together, we explore both the old and the new. We look toward the roots of the Alexander Technique with respect, and we invite the living practice to expand. Our time includes experiential learning, hands-on guidance, collaborative discussion, and space to feel how our bodies respond as we widen the frame of the work.
What we will explore together
• attunement as the ground of teaching and touch
• nervous system capacity, pacing, and rhythm in lessons
• trauma-informed practices that open space rather than prescribe it
• shifting from technique-based correction to relational presence
• how people learn in a post-COVID world
• integrating Body Mapping and whole-body awareness without old metaphors
• expanding the work beyond inherited language
• honoring variability in experience, sensation, and learning styles
This workshop is designed for teachers, trainees, musicians, movement educators, and anyone interested in a relational, contemporary approach to Alexander work.
