Alexander Technique Demonstration by Ariel Weiss

In this video, Ariel demonstrates the Alexander Technique for the staff of Chanel 6, ABC News, in Philadelphia.

A nice feature is that it doesn't make Alexander Technique teachers and students look like zombies! The teacher studied with the late Marjorie Barstow and you can see many other examples of this style of teaching at http://marjoriebarstow.com

there should be more videos like this posted to inform people about AT, practical activities where people can see how it isn't intrusive and how it can help them.

It's unfortunate the video is encoded with that weird lag.

I don't understand the second example. First, I mean no disrespect. Just want to understand our actions better. I am new to AT. Merely desire to learn. It seems that she is suggesting to use a straight spine to do it, on the contrary to the first example: allowing the head weight to fall. The guy started to stand on one leg, and lunged? That is apparently not possible to that work.

i luv the AT and still use it(there's nothing to compare with it's approach to body awareness),Respectfully i just want to say to Ariel...i notice that when you're speaking at the beginning, are you aware that you jerk your head around and move you're eyebrows up and down(habitually)? warm regards
