LIVING ALEXANDER ANATOMY

STAT Professional Development Courses for Teachers and Trainees

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.

Michael Hardwicke studied Anatomy with Don Burton 1985-1996. Don was inspirational in the Alexander Technique world for bringing A.T firmly into a clear anatomical framework. Michael has continued the teaching of Anatomy in a way relevant to the Alexander Technique on the Cumbria Alexander Training after Don died in 1996.

The courses aim 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

Emphasis is on how we can use this understanding in teaching.
