04 What F.M. Alexander Got Wrong - Learning to Control Your Legs

Описание: The placement of the feet is one of the few things that Jeando Masoero disagrees with F.M. Alexander about. The debate would be a bit more lively had Alexander ever given much reasoning for his position. Nevertheless, we will look at the argument, and as the title should tell you, we will explore why Masoero’s position makes more sense.

I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits?

In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.
