Alexander Technique with Beret Arcaya
You cannot change what you do not know you are doing.
THE PROCESS:
How an IDEA becomes an ACTION,
How USE affects FUNCTIONING:
- Develop self awareness so you know how you are getting in your own way.
- Allowing me to give you a new kinaesthetic feeling of freedom and ease; Gradually this becomes familiar, habitual, so you are learning to do this for yourself.
- You gain agency over your self, no longer a slave of habit. That which was difficult has become free and unfettered.
- This self possession and new attitude of ease is then applied to any skill you wish; The finest of all being the manner in which you live your life.
You are not here to do exercises or to learn to do something right, but to meet a stimulus that always put you wrong and to learn to deal with it differently.
Frederick Matthias Alexander
At the heart of every Alexander Technique Lesson is the concept of Habit and Choice.
