Hi! I'm Gemma Williams, an Alexander Technique teacher since 1999. This channel has been created for my clients who want a bit more support with their home practice. That's why you'll notice there's a level of assumed knowledge within each clip. This work is conscious, considered, even slow; that way there's plenty of time to use your Alexander Technique directed thinking. It's not the movement but your mind that makes the difference, your thinking makes the changes in your body.

This guided practice is based on the Alexander Technique. It's mindfulness with body awareness; embodied mindfulness is a good way to describe it. Some teachers call it Active Rest and some simply semi-supine practice, because you'll be lying in the semi supine position.

zhlédnutí 120Před měsícem
Today we're taking a look at tension habits; the background effort that's always there, even when you think it's not! One of the main reason's you don't notice long term tension is because after a while your brain stops registering it. It'll notice new information, but not the old story of your tight lower back or your habit of gripping your jaw. So imagine, if you will a bad day in paradise, t...

Very relaxing and soothing. As someone who tends to live in a state of being "clenched up" in my jaw, neck and, recently, stomach (gripping) this is a very helpful practice. Thank you.
