Posture Correction using the Alexander Technique - #3

[Jbose11]

Sweet! Does this mean I can get a doctors note to take naps at work ?!

[dduck1989]

i thought this was a more skilled tecnique. for me, there is no difference of sleeping with this exercise

[Klakeshke]

Excellent demonstration! :)

[SHoward152]

oh my good im confused on what the alexander technique is everybody says and do something different. can somebody please give me a clear idea on what im suppose to do???

[mmcrosbie]

I like the way he shows us how to get down on the floor, which gets harder as you get older and if you are overweight.

[Ravain]

Whats wrong with just lying down when you sleep? How is this different?

[thermaldog]

i've missd the point, what is this demonstrating?

[jrr1234567890]

he's hot. id let him 'correct' my posture any day

[08Stella]

This sounds very promising...!! Do you have a video that I can order or buy in stores? I live in Holland, Amsterdam. Please let me know!!!!

[dakinimoon]

Thank you!

[b3arzy]

would this improve forward head posture?

[markjaye1]

@b3arzy Yes it would correct forward head posture, especially when you see that forward head posture is wrongly named. Forward head posture is actually forward neck posture.

Brennan is an excellent teacher! And he's speaking entirely off the cuff, which is far harder, of course. I skeak as a teacher myself, of breath control. Remember to BREATHE.

nice!

[rickbrennan1]

Detials of how to find an Alexander Teacher anywhere in the world can be got from my website. Just put Richard Brennan Alexander Technique into any search engine.

[rickbrennan1]

Hi it could be that you are just more aware of this now. If you need help see your local Alexander Technique teacher.

[dozyem]

Great help thanx

[funfest24]

to get a real change in yourself you must see an AT teacher on a regular basis though. lying down work can only get you so far :) but yes lying down work is great and best in the morning

[Rhiarti]

Good grief, of all the places to encounter the man who permanently fixed my bad back! Can't recommend Rick's classes highly enough... and Rick, if you read this, I can't thank you enough for the workshops you ran all those years ago in Paignton.

[curlykale]

Thanks, don't you think that tyou should be doing something about your stomach? That's extremely unhealthy!

[katherine83095]

for as long as I can remember, my neck has been curved forward. A few of my sisters have curved spines, too. My brother measured the length between my neck and the wall and there was a two inch difference. help? advice? is this genetic?

[SpartanAkuma]

[leeanneoneill]

[daeinera]

[manolis1908]

@kablooie27

it should be safe for you to do the lying down exercise, but to be safe you could check with your doctor first

regarding your other question about your palms, it is probably best that you see an Alexander Technique teacher locally.

Hope that is some help...

[kablooie27]

FYI i am 25..

[kablooie27]

a posture is always a posture even when it is corrected. Alexander Technique is not about correcting posture. It is more to recognize habits which interfere with our natural use of the self. It is not this endgaining stuff do this and that,,,you can think that or this ....If we are natural, we do have no posture, but live under balanced and free conditiones.

[ColinCashin]

This is a really great tutorial, thanks a lot for posting. I've been working with the Alexander Technique lately to help with shoulder and neck pain I get from playing guitar. Doing this before I play really helps me notice the excess tension.

[lulingstone]

i was reading a book about the alex technique yesterday. I have severe back and neck pain and pain in my knees and ankles. doctors said its cause by bad posture. I tried yesterday the semi-supine position and i am amazed by it. thanks you very much learning more from you.
