5155 Mind over Matter: Alexander Technique to Guided Meditation - Rebekah Edwards

"Learn how to relax your body through the power of your mind. In this session you will learn a bit about the Alexander Technique and how practicing this will help you in all areas of your life. The Alexander Technique is a way of learning to move mindfully. The Alexander process shines a light on inefficient habits of movement and patterns of accumulated tension, which interferes with our innate ability to move easily and according to how we are designed. Although F.M. Alexander was initially a Shakespearean actor the technique produces a skill set that can be applied in every situation. Lessons leave one feeling lighter, freer, and more grounded. At the end of this session we will conclude with a guided mediation that will also help release some of the stresses and worries we carry in our thinking. At the end of the session, it is my hope that you will feel relaxed yet rejuvenated with freer movement of the body and clarity of the mind.
