The Alexander Technique is about moving, sitting, standing more easily and freely in everyday life. Frequently we are using much more tension and effort than necessary in many day-to-day activities, and many people end up with aches and pains, for example back pain. The Alexander Technique is a very different approach, yet ultimately very simple. It is not a treatment, there are no exercises nor do you need any special equipment. We are retraining how we are using ourselves – our body and mind – in everyday activities. In this short workshop we will introduce some fundamental principles of the Technique via some practical games; we will look at some basic movements, and you will learn about a different way of sitting which is better for your back.

Workshop for AT teachers with Jean Fischer

Considering ways of taking a pupil up from lying-down.

When: Sunday 20 January. 13:00 – 15:30.
Where: Wiener Ausbildungszentrum für Alexander-Technik (WAAT), Lustgasse 3, 1030 Wien
Who: Max. 8 teachers, teachers only.
How much: €40 per person.

Please book directly with Jean Fischer. This workshop will be held in English.

There is a variety of ways of taking a pupil up from lying-down after finishing working on the table. The aim is to prevent the pupil from interfering with the freedom and release which have been achieved through the lying-down work.

The Barlows and the Carringtons had their ways of taking a pupil up, and we will also look at a couple of other ways which have developed since. We will also look at how to talk through/help a pupil to get up themselves after lying down on the floor.

The workshop is practical; we will work on it together in small groups. This is a workshop for teachers only.

Handynutzung gefährdet Halswirbelsäule

Das Problem, vor allem im Hinblick auf eine Gefährdung der Halswirbelsäule, liegt darin, was man mit sich SELBST macht während man das Smartphone nutzt. In diesem Zusammenhang sollte daher vor allem vor einem schlechten Selbstgebrauch gewarnt werden…

Mit der Alexander-Technik kann man einen bewussten und guten Selbstgebrauch erlernen, der in allen Lebenslagen und bei allen Aktivitäten nützlich und gesundheitsfördernd ist, nicht nur bei der Handynutzung.
