- Description
We can prevent tension and pain in a musician’s daily life.
Here, we learn the principles of the F. M. Alexander Technique: recognizing habits of posture, thought, and movement.
Using homologous, homolateral, and contralateral movement patterns, we mindfully move the body in a way that reestablishes the relationship between the head, spine, and knees. This creates the possibility for a more refined balance.
It is possible to work with the instrument.
“People do not decide their futures; they decide their Habitus, and their habits decide their futures.” F. M. Alexander- Literature
