I will be participating in the following workshop on February 21st:
The Fitzgordon Walking Method: Walking in the Present with Greater Ease and Power.
The way you walk with your body is a metaphor for how you choose to move time and space. In the Fitzgordon Walking Method, you will understand how your unconscious habitual walking patterns prevent you from having greater freedom your flexibility. You will enhance your awareness of greater stability and strength by seeing how you distribute your weight in your skeleton by working with or against gravity when you move forward. In using the Fitzgordon Walking Method strategies for better alignment, you will experience greater mobility in your total being so that you can move throughout the day with greater poise, alignment, and effortlessness. Jonathan Fitzgordon will teach this section.
Restoring Resiliency: Introduction to the Alexander Technique.
In this experiential workshop, you will have a variety of experiences to help you manage your body better in any task or activity. You will work with a partner, by yourself and with the group to learn how to release tension, use your breath as a tool to calm the nervous system and release your muscles. We'll use drawing, writing, discussion and enjoyable structured activities to understand more about our own bodies and how to manage them in a variety of tasks and activities -- sitting, walking, speaking, a tennis swing or a yoga pose. You'll leave the workshop prepared to go into more depth with a teacher in private sessions, and will have more understanding and accessible tools you can use on your own. Come in loose, comfortable clothing and be prepared for gentle movement. Joan Arnold will teach this section.
