Embodied Learning Systems

Embodied Learning Systems are body kind from the outset. Alexander Technique, the root practice, and Mobile Body Alignment™, my combination of somatics, dance, and Alexander Technique, are step-by-step awareness and movement practices that help you interpret and make use of what your body is trying to tell you.

You’ll enjoy the experience, but you’ll also learn how and why each practice works and exactly how to apply it in your life. This learning process is where the magic of my work happens.

To use your body well, you need to know it well. With Mobile Body Alignment and Alexander Technique classes, you will be surprised at how fun mapping different parts of you can be, and just how adaptable, mobile, responsive, and smart your own body is. 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:

But getting relief is not empowering if you don’t know how it happened and you can’t bring it about in yourself when you are on your own. Learning about your body is healing in a way that diagnosis and treatment are not. In fact, combined with medical treatment or psychotherapy, Embodied Learning Systems triple the value of your initial investment because they bring your mind and body into loving conversation.

Embodied Learning Systems are maps that will guide you on the journey towards self-understanding and empowerment:

1. The Alexander Technique restores postural integrity and balance, cultivates a loving relationship to your body, and quickens the conscious mind without stress. Do you suspect that posture has something to do with your problems? You are right! Posture is how you support your body in relationship to gravity, and it’s a constant influence on you all day and all night. You might have been taught that posture is static, but it’s not.

Posture and movement have a profound effect on how you experience life. Your postural and movement systems calibrate all systems in your body, including 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. Together we can sort it out for you!

2. Mobile Body Alignment Awareness Preludes free you from self-consciousness, cultivate attention flexibility, and lay the ground for exploring the body without stiffening or tightening, especially online

3. Mobile Body Alignment Dermatome Mapping refreshes your body schema, activates the entire central nervous system with calm and ease, and activates a sense of wholeness.

4. Mobile Body Alignment Points give you access to detailed awareness of separate parts of the body, restores the pleasure of motion, expands your movement range, and awakens your spatial intelligence. The points can be used to integrate MBA with any movement form regardless of style or aesthetic.

5. Mobile Body Alignment Cranial Nerve Sequencing integrates somatic experience with postural intelligence and flexibility and rebalances sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

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