In this video, we kick off a series that will explain the framework of the system that I think is most effective in correcting posture. Together we will reason out what we need to actually change how we use ourselves. By the end of the series, you should understand what you can do to meaningfully take control over your posture. You will also understand why a reasoned system is effective while other systems are not.
I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits?
In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.

"In the performance of any muscular action by conscious guidance and control there are four essential stages:
(i) The conception of the movement required;
(2) The inhibition of erroneous preconceived ideas which subconsciously suggest the manner in which the movement or series of movements should be performed;
(3) The new and conscious mental orders which will set in motion the muscular mechanism essential to the correct performance of the action;
(4) The movements (contractions and expansions) of the muscles which carry out the mental orders."
