28 May – 15 June (Tuesday – Saturday), 5 –to 8 PM | 45 hours over three weeks
Registration for the May/June intensive is open. Only 16 participants will be taken.
The fee for each week includes one 20-min 1-on-1 lesson as well (i.e. you get three lessons if you do three weeks).
About The Event
In this three-week intensive, students will be introduced to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the Alexander Technique. This includes observation of the ‘Use of the Self’, reflections on one’s own patterns, and application of the technique in daily life. The workshop is appropriate for people who are new to the technique and those with prior experience. As the nature of the work is not linear, it is greatly beneficial for people to revisit to continue and strengthen their practice.
The intensive is aimed at those wishing to apply the technique to their personal physical/somatic practice, and those who are working as professionals in allied physical, therapeutic, wellness-based or somatic fields.
The intensive in May/June is part of a larger teacher training programme, which will have intensive modules throughout the year in addition to online correspondence with the Heads of Training, Robin and Béatrice. Please contact alexandertechniquebangalore@gmail.com for more information on the training programme.
A student may also sign up for the intensive and decide to join the full training programme during the duration of the workshop (fees will be adjusted accordingly).
About the Technique
Developed by F. Matthias Alexander in 1894 this technique is essentially a re-educative self-help system that promotes better health. It is used by people from all backgrounds and all ages both in the arts, in offices and businesses, at home, and in all sporting activities.
The Alexander Technique gives you a totally new experience of yourself—a harmonious integration of body and mind. Unconscious tension is released, you feel lighter, gain more energy, move with greater freedom, and breathe more deeply. This self-help method teaches you greater consciousness of your posture, breathing, thinking, and movement patterns; it has a therapeutic effect. You will be in touch again with your kinaesthetic sense, or as a client has described it: “You gave me my body back!”
It is widely used by people to:
1. Help relieve pain and alleviate chronic joint or spinal issues
2. Improve performance and coordination in any activity
3. Prevent injury and fatigue
4. Release unnecessary tension
5. Find a balanced, flowing, and powerful expression of self
6. Improve and enhance the practice of artists like actors, musicians, dancers, and performers
