What worked well? “The detailed anatomical presentation of how the body and skeleton function. The Zoom or online presentation of this information was exceptional.” Tony

Do you want to enhance the flow, calm and grace of your tai chi movements? The Alexander Technique can help us achieve the most balanced, fluid and dynamic organisation of ourselves and take this into our tai chi practice. We learn to embody the tai chi characteristics of movement that is circular, relaxed (Chinese term “song”), calm, continuous, with intent, and energy. A more accurate translation of “song” is “unbound”, a state in which the body loses all unnecessary bindings, all resistances, all tension. This is the essence of the Alexander Technique.
In this five class hands-on intensive learn to apply Alexander Technique insights to your particular tai chi practice.
Class 1: Finding dynamic neutral
Class 2: Cultivating quiet
Class 3: Connecting the arms
Class 4: Connecting the legs
Class 5: Cultivating a free breath
Each session includes an experiential group segment on the topic of the day followed by a practical group segment where I work one-on-one with each participant on an aspect of their particular tai chi style. ​
