Gravity wants to ground us, root us deep within the earth, and right our posture. Tension in our joints, though, causes gravity to act differently on each body part, disconnects us from the earth. If we could rid ourselves of these fixations, we would, but every remedial action creates compensatory tension elsewhere. We need a way to work from the whole to the part and the part to the whole. One important and time-tested way is the Alexander Technique. In a lesson, you’ll learn how to activate a master reflex that ripples through your body and reconnects you to the earth. Come see how compassionate, skilled touch can reorient you, right your posture, give you gravitas, and change your life. The world is going to notice and your back is going to love your for it.
