The Alexander Technique as a core focus for the following:

Alexander Technique principles meet Iron Shirt Qigong standing postures. I will begin this course with a brief discussion of “the 10,000 things”. Then we'll explore the standing postures such as 'Holding the Golden Urn’ and 'Embracing the Tree'. These standing poses help in finding flow along the front line and back lines of the body and strengthens our earth-human-sky vertical consciousness as relationship

This course provides an introduction into our energetic anatomy with a focus on a specially designed matrix in which to discover intentional movement and interactions. Many people find this to be a more efficient way to come into better 'posture' simply because you aren't using your muscles for lining up your physical body. You are tapping into the intelligence of your energetic system which is innately connected and informative to the physical body.

Tai Chi provides a patterned sequence for conscious flow of energy and movement.  In this class we will practice the 1st section of the tai chi long form as a way to explore Alexander principles.
