We are designed
for movement. Whether we are dancing, hammering a nail, riding
a horse, working at a computer, or singing an aria, we possess
an inherent capacity to move naturally. Naturalness encourages
ease, flexibility, power, and expressiveness. Unwittingly, we
often interfere with this natural design. Energy, delight, and
grace give way to effort, tension, and fatigue.
The Alexander Technique gives us practical knowledge of principles
that govern human coordination. Through study, we become able
to redirect excessive tension into useful energy. We learn how
to transform undue effort into effective strength, fatigue into
kinesthetic lightness. We regain deep structural support and lucid
contact with our surroundings.
The Alexander Technique teaches us to be relaxed and
ready, soft and strong, light and substantial,
firm and flexible, awake to ourselves and to
the world. |
