At FELLSIDE, Kendal, Cumbria.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22nd -12:00pm to 6:00pm 2008
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23rd -10:00am to 2:00pm 2008

This weekend includes-

• Primary Control as a dynamic mechanism
• Embryological formation of your support and movement systems
• Appreciating your spine as a flexible, substantial, supportive column
• Knowing your spine in movement
• Knowing your Atlas and Axis - two unique vertebrae
• Your Atlanto-Occipital joint and it’s relation to your co-ordination and functioning
• Balance of your head and crucial role of your sub-occipital muscles
• Multifidus - the vital role of these postural muscles in your “up”
• Getting in touch with your Sacrum bone – the anchor you extend up from
• Letting your hands be informed by this anatomical clarity

The course aims to provide an anatomical understanding that will:--

• improve body and mind connection
• assist in the inner work of releasing
• informs our hands–on
• assist visual and tactile observation
• give clear explanations of the Alexander Technique to use with groups and individuals
• add to our professional credibility and authority

Michael’s work provides an opportunity to understand in a "living" way some of the basic anatomy that informs and clarifies our Alexander work .
His teaching has always included a good understanding of how skeletal anatomy reveals what the Alexander directions are and forms a grounding in connecting mind and body. Michael’s teaching includes "living" anatomy i.e. the intention is not head knowledge but real hands-on, find-and-feel anatomy using visualisation, model making and other tools that give us an accurate sense of what we really are.

Emphasis will be on how we can use this understanding in teaching.

COST- £60.00
