ENROLMENTS CLOSE THIS TUESDAY. In Week 3 we address clarity of intention and context, and their effect on the quality of our activities and YES, our life.
Our performance of an activity is governed by our intentions and our circumstances or context. If these intentions are unclear or outdated our activity will be compromised or limited. Similarly if we are moving without coordinating to our current circumstances/context our performance will be restricted.
By optimising the head/spine relationship Integrative Alexander Technique helps you identify your intentions and circumstances more clearly.
Conversely, constructively choosing intentions that fit our circumstances and intentions, that is moving to your YES, optimises head/spine relationship creating ease of movement whilst supporting well being and performance.
Integrative Alexander Technique lets you live your YES.

Enrol now, Course starts in 2 weeks on June 12. In Week 2 you will bring consciousness to what you know and what you don’t know about the design of your body. In reference to the picture above - If you place your pointer fingers just below your earlobes, to the centre between your fingers THIS is where your head and spine articulate. New?
We move how we BELIEVE we are designed. These beliefs are often formed unconsciously and restrict our movement, thus restricting our functional capabilities. As we update our body map, we update the sense of who we are, we open up possibilities in the activities we love. Updating our body map improves our functioning and efficiency of movement. As we work WITH our design rather than against it, our thinking can clarify and provide increased freedom to choose.

Awe, that moment that took your breath away, a mysterious and complex emotion that can surf the edge of delight and overwhelm, we feel small and often part of something larger. The study of Awe (check out University of California’s paper ‘Science of Awe’) is bringing greater understanding of awe - what experiences elicit it, how and why it may have evolved and what are its benefits. Even taking the time to recall or write about an experience of awe can create greater feelings of humility, connectedness and increased sense of well being.

Why the flowers? Why are you buying flowers? Who are they for? What do they like? Which flowers appeal to you? How much do you have to spend? Answering these questions is often a conscious,constructive process. Similarly the Integrative Alexander Technique is an easily applied process that utilises conscious choice to constructively influence our organising coordination to improve the quality of an activity.

Do you love to jog or run? We may have patterns of running that may need an update. If you are curious about your running here are a few wonderings to ask yourself. Is there extra pressure between my head and spine as I run? How would you describe running/jogging to an alien? As I jog, am I cooperating with my present design or am I running as a younger, bigger/smaller, pre-injury, in-recovery (add your own adjectives) self? Is my running modelled on someone else and is this serving me? Who and what surrounds me as I run? Am I running with kindness? Have fun experimenting 😃

A brief moment of mindfulness may be a moment to take in your environment - hear the birds, smell that fresh bread, feel the breeze on your face, or tune into that next breath. It’s simple and accessible NOW. This invitation is from Judson A. Brewer, psychiatrist, neuroscientist and long time meditator. Check out his work into mindfulness, the reward cycle and addiction drjud.com

As a fellow human being I definitely know about procrastination and the fear of overwhelm. As a trained coach I know these experiences can be addressed by undertaking AND celebrating small wins. As Steven Kramer & Teresa Amabile from The Progress Principle advise, track your accomplishments towards your goal by journaling or marking off these SMALL WINS daily.
