About this Event

In this first of its kind JLSF Watch Party, we will re-play and watch together Judith Kleinman’s 2022 Workshop, Finding Quiet Strength with the AlexanderTechnique. After the video, Judith will join us for a live Q&A. Whether you were lucky enough to have seen it the first time or not, please join us as we come together as a community for this much needed salve for the soul and reminder of the power of our work to offer grounding, strength, and joy, even in this tumultuous time.

FINDING QUIET STRENGTH: Moving from threat to safety, befriending ourselves and others with the Alexander Technique

In this workshop we will look at short sequences of movement and moments of stillness finding time to pay attention and awareness to how we think, move and breathe, and explore how to find time, space and ease in ourselves and the world around us.

The workshop will include thinking about self regulation and co-regulation with AT ideas. We will explore the interplay of our autonomic nervous system and our neuro muscular skeletal system in everyday interaction with others and stressful situations. We will be at looking at patterns of breath, movement and thought. We will work with sitting and standing, wall work and semi-supine. We will spend some time putting hands on ourselves in a friendly and easy way to develop a deeper feedback sense. We will explore how it is to non judgementally be curious about how we are and what we might choose to change and influence, drawing on skills that include how we focus and pay attention, so we can develop our awareness.

The information given will be through power point with pictures alongside the movement sequences and moments for quiet and stillness and questions.

PLEASE BRING:

It would be great if you could have handy: a chair, a wall to work with, a little bit of space for standing work, and a place to lie down with a book under your head.

EVERYONE WELCOME!

No experience with the Alexander Technique necessary. No pre-requisites or requirements.

Complimentary tickets are available to any teachers, trainees, and students who identify as Black, Indigenous or Persons of Color (BIPOC). Our community is enhanced by an abundance of diversity and diminished without it. Email us at [email protected] for your VIP code.
