Embodied Learning Systems

Embodied Learning Systems offers a set of practices for better mobility, better posture, and healthier self-regulation.

Alexander Technique, the root practice, taps into your postural system and helps you recover a healthy, adaptable uprightness that supports all movement.

Mobile Body Alignment™, my combination of somatics, dance, and Alexander Technique, helps you access freedom and expression in movement and all the activities of life.

Cranial Nerve Sequencing taps into the importance of all the sense organs and nerves in your skull, freeing the balance of your head on your spine, and allowing your central nervous system to balance itself through easy awareness.

Aches and pains go away as my students learn to trust their own physical intelligence. So many problems get resolved when their learning relationship with their own body is restored.

Yes, you will find relief from pain and stress. Yes, scientific research is increasingly proving the efficacy of the Alexander Technique. Yes, The Alexander Technique, the basis of all my practices, is proven to do the following:

Getting relief is so much more empowering, however, if you can bring it about yourself when you are on your own. Gaining agency in your own body is healing in a way that diagnosis and treatment cannot be.

In fact, combined with medical treatment or psychotherapy, Embodied Learning Systems can triple the value of your initial investment because the work brings your mind and body into loving conversation.

Embodied Learning Systems are maps that will guide you on the journey towards better postural support, healing, and empowerment:

1. The Alexander Technique: This 150 year old method for improving postural tone has many direct and indirect benefits. Posture is how you support your body in relationship to gravity, and it’s a constant influence on you all day and all night. It supports your movement and balance systems, and calibrates all other systems in your body such as breathing, circulation, digestion, and perception.

Some of us have low postural tone, and some of us have too much, or too much in the wrong places because of pain or learned habits. We can sort it out for you in private lessons.

2. Mobile Body Alignment helps you apply the Alexander principles in movement. By learning the 6 Awareness Preludes and the 17 Mobile Body Alignment Points you cultivate flexibility of attention to self and environment.

Most of us are spending too much time in states of narrow, fixed focus and this affects how we feel in our bodies and how we move. Mobile Body Alignment will free you to be mindful while in motion or activities that may have been tension producing in the past.

4.   Mobile Body Alignment Cranial Nerve Sequencing: Re-establish your innate capacity to balance activation and calm by learning the structure and function of all 12 cranial nerves, including the vagus. Improve underlying breathing patterns, decrease eye strain, improve your voice, posture, and digestion by relinquishing deep excess tension nerve by nerve.

All these practices facilitate long term mobility into old age, positive body image, self-knowledge, self-care, and independence.
