WORKSHOPS
Finding Quiet Strength in Movement
Everyone is welcome to this workshop with Judith Kleinman, which will include working with the key ideas of Alexander and movement modalities to find an approach to the sense of wholeness, resilience and acceptance in our lives. Judith Kleinman teaches at The Royal College of Music and is Co-head of Training at LCATT. She has developed ‘Finding Quiet Strength’ as an accessible way of simplifying the ideas of emotional intelligence and embodied awareness, with ancient wisdom and the information of modern neuro-science. This is proving to be very popular as a starting point that can go on to deepen and help students make the work their own.
Judith teaches Alexander and Yoga at The Royal College of Music and is co-head of Training at LCATT. She co-wrote The Alexander Technique for Musicians with Peter Buckoke and is co-director of the Developing Self project alongside Sue Merry. Judith’s latest book Finding Quiet Strength suggests that Alexander can be be a central part of a practice for finding freedom in movement and stillness, helping us have a practice of resilience and quiet strength. In the workshop we will look at how Thought, Touch, Movement and Breath can help us find a calm, confident and co-ordinated sense of Time, Space and Ease.

The 22nd Interesting Talk with workshop will the on Embodied embryology part 2 – The dance of the heart with Flurina Thali. on 25th May 2025 10.30am to1.00pm.
Cost £25 To book please email judithkleinman@gmail.com
In this talk Flurina invites us to continue the journey of the embryo and to explore how its stories can inform and nurture our learning and practice. In the first part we will revisit the very early events of embryology by introducing the three germ layers, the concept of folding tubes within tubes and the emergence of a first midline, the notochord, and how these events relate to the AT directions. In part 2 we witness the miraculous growth of the heart as a response to the “hungry nervous system” and we explore how those two organs contribute to the formation of what in AT we call the primary control.
Flurina is an Osteopath, coach, lecturer, researcher and mother of the podcast «The Soft Rebellion». She initially trained as a dancer in Denmark and the Netherlands. During this time she encountered many somatic practices, in particular the Alexander Technique and Ideokinesis which continuously taught her as a facilitator about the art of creating space and finding ease in movement by using images and imagination. The wish of engaging her hands in care for others led her to gain a Masters` degree at the European School of Osteopathy. She is currently practicing in private clinics in Kent and London, as well as working for the Osteopathic Center for Children and lecturing in London. Embryology.
The 23rd Interesting talk with workshop will be The Feet ,The Feet, The Feet. Part 2 with Polly Waterfield on Sunday 15th June 10 to 1pm.

Some further thoughts through the lens of reflexology, this is suitable for everyone, including those who didn’t make the first workshop
Having just qualified as a reflexologist after an intensive year of training including 100 case studies,Polly will share some further thoughts and experiences about the feet and the whole person. How we conceive of and use our feet has profound implications for how we stand on planet earth and how we move through life. As we age they seem to become more and more important! I will lead you through a guided visualisation in semi-supine and there will be upright activities and the chance to try things out with each other.
Polly graduated from LCATT in 2006. She then founded the AT department at Uppingham school where she taught for eighteen years and learnt a great deal from her teenage pupils. The dream job arrived seven years ago, working with the young men of King’s College Choir Cambridge. Seeing how simple attention to the feet improves singing, with a past as an ungrounded violinist and in the present wanting to age as well as possible, her interest in feet became a passion and led to training in reflexology last year.
