4/ Sunday May 10th, 10 to 1pm, “How to work with Hyper-mobility in an Alexander lesson” with Julie Barber.
Recognising and understanding HM gives us insight as to why, for example, a student may be simultaneously both ‘too loose’ and yet ‘too tight’, or have under (or over) developed proprioception, or frequent soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains and tendonitis, or more serious conditions such as POTS, EDS or fibromyalgia.
We’ll learn how to recognise it, appreciate how it may affect more than just joints, and explore helpful ways of working with our hands and direction. There’ll be time for discussion, shared experiences and hands-on.
Julie Barber has been interested in HM since 2012. £40 for teachers £30 for students. To book please be in touch with Judithkleinman@gmail.com
5/ Sunday June 14th 2pm to 5pm “Understanding the Childhood Reflexes’”, with Judith Kleinman, looking at the impact they can have on our own use patterns and how they can inform our observation in teaching. We will explore the interconnection with the reflexes and Dart work, and how the procedures can help us find a sense of integration. We will experiment with some simple directed activities to help our students find skilful ways of working on themselves to find an experience of wholeness, balance and ease. £40 for teachers £30 for students.

INTERESTING TALKS

They have been really successful, enjoyable and thought-provoking so far. So do come and join us for the next one.
If you would like to see what we have had in the past you can check it out on the Professional Development page.
The 25th Interesting Talk is on Somatic Experiencing with Daniela Sangiorgio.
“Are Emotions and Sensations real”?
Thursday 18th June 7 to 9pm. £30 for Teachers £20 for students. To book please be in touch with Judithkleinman@gmail.com
This a talk and workshop where I share how I integrate my Somatic Experiencing skills when teaching the Alexander Technique. We will explore the importance of acknowledging, making conscious and honouring the internal emotional world of our students to empower them with agency and healthy boundaries. Can students say “no” or express their needs during lessons and in their everyday lives? By validating the affects and sensations they experience in the present moment we cultivate trust, connection and safety. We will also explore how students’ body language can reveal insights into their internal state in relation to their nervous systems.
Daniela Sangiorgio is an Alexander Technique teacher who trained at LCATT in London and is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (the work of Peter Levine, author of ‘Waking the Tiger”). She is also a Buteyko breathing instructor and a Craniosacral therapist
