About Richard Skramstad

Richard is professionally trained in the Alexander technique, yoga, natural vision, and massage. The combination of these disciplines allows him to see the person as a holistic fashion and teach perception and embodiment with creativity and precision. Most of his trainings were taken at the Alexander Training Institute in Santa Monica (1600 hours); with Meir Schneider of the School for Self-Healing in San Francisco (300 hours); over 500 hours of individual Alexander Technique lessons, and regular natural vision improvement classes with Janet Goodrich when she was teaching in Los Angeles (and a one-week intensive in Australia). Richard's anatomy/massage/tai chi trainings were taken at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing in Culver City. He continues to educate herself in mind-body disciplines for personal growth and to improve the quality of his instruction.
