🤷‍♀️ Alexander Technique for Freeing the Neck and Shoulders through Intentional Movement

🤷‍♀️ Often when we experience neck and shoulder pain, we try to address it DIRECTLY by squeezing or rolling the shoulders or trying to stretch the neck with head rolls, not realizing that the discomfort we are experiencing could be the result of an unhelpful coordination or “stuckness” throughout the whole stature.

🤷‍♀️ This movement exploration addresses stuckness INDIRECTLY by engaging your whole self - imagination and physicality - to discover how INTENTION can free up blocked areas to allow ease and freedom throughout your whole coordinated being.

🤷‍♀️ Experiment: What is it like to BREATHE with these movements? What is it like to make SOUND as you allow your attention and intention to guide your movements? What INFORMATION does this experiment give you about what is necessary for free and easy breathing/singing?

🤷‍♀️ Thank you to Babette Lightner and Caren Bayer for their experimentation with pinky-directed movement, spirals, and structural anatomy. Learn more about their work by following the links in the comments below.
