Excerpts from a full DVD introduction to the Alexander Technique with Academy Award®-winner William Hurt and teacher Jane Kosminsky. Full lesson available on DVD at www.balanceofwellbeing.com.
To the negative comments about this video - Alexander Technique is not a cult nor does it represent cultist techniques. It is a method for healing and learning how to use the body in a healthful manner. It is especially useful for musicians and dancers who are dealing with injury, but can certainly apply to anyone.
Love this Jane--I have shared it with a friend and former Reuters bureau chief who is currently on a book tour requiring a great deal of public speaking--he is a convert--
How do you create that impressive crossing out of words effect where a reader can still read the underlying msg and thereby understand that you have some heavy weight behind your words and that you are undoubtedly a person to be reckoned with and someone who I should pay to teach me how to raise funds? Oh wait, I get it, that was actually your first lesson in creative fundraising! Nice job.
I came up with a similar set of theories in my journey to be great...I personally don't believe you should visit a practitioner as is heavily adviced on every website... it can be done individually if u can't afford it...but the process will require *Hope* and don't fill ashamed of quitting... that's a opportunity to learn from it mistakes and come back stronger....the only reason I'm here is because I accidentally came across this information at school and it was interesting someone had the exact same solutions to the exact same problem as me
Hi Billy, Every Alexander teacher teaches in their own voice. There is something to be said for calming the person down, though. When I teach I sound like me; NYC accent and all! I agree with you that it's easier to hear someone when they speak in a more 'normal' voice.
Think so originally years ago.. it's a nice compliment or alternative to chiropractic. Check out the chiropractor who does long lectures here on youtube John Bergman.
okay, what's your point? i think you're just beating around the bush with the fact that the chick's eyes were moving around a lot and it looked uncomfortable
Blanch appears to be the skeleton of an aborted fetus. Or else a member of a tiny tribe of pygmies. Either way she deserves a proper burial instead of being displayed as a circus performer. I weep for you Blanch.
For those who are looking for this skeleton model they are impossible to get unless you know someone who is passing one on. One of my Alexander teachers told me the person who created it died and the family wants a fortune for the patent so no one is making them
No. There are lots of models. I'm referring to the one used in this video. It is flexible as you can see when she demonstrates. There are plenty of life size models out there and one about three feet tall but this one is not available. You can't patent the spine but you can patent a particular model . She is using the one Alexander teachers like to carry with them for teaching and talks
Hello Jane. Thank you for your beautiful video. Where did you find your skeleton? I've been looking everywhere for one that size, which is NOT on a stand.
The family of the person who created it wants so much money no one can afford to produce them. The creator of this model died some time ago. That is what I heard from Alexander teachers.
+Mathias Alexander Can you tell me a little about this book, I would love to learn more but I can not find out too much information about this book online.
Because its out of print. The copyright is held by the London Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. They don't seem to want to reprint it. Try at-ffm.de/books/0734400017.htm. Also try the on line AT magazine Directions, they have a series of articles about his work.
the kids are spending too much time on RU-vid. Can a adult put out the kids so they can go play....please explain to that what the green stuff sticking out of the ground is (grass)
Honestly, I think i would still be bored about this unless i was curious myself about this... This doesn't exactly have any effect for education, unless you're to advance in some sport or do martial arts.
Go on safari deep into the darkest jungle of Africa. There you will find a small village with tiny inhabitants known as Pygmies. Select a sturdy looking specimen and throw it into a cauldron of boiling water for 6 hours. Remove the remains from the pot and voila, you have your very own skeleton.
When anybody starts to talk in such a pretend manner, then you know it is going to be a costly session, it may work, but they are over egging the pudding, almost snake oil, yes I know good posture will help and improve your health, but it should not cost the amount they charge
