Blog of the Week: Alexander Technique Positions

Today I worked with an older gentlemen who was extremely responsive. It was his first lesson and to his surprise and delight, he kept “moving up” throughout the entire time. Once, after I removed my hands from his head/neck, he smiled and said “I could stay in this position forever!”
That’s was my cue to go into my “There are no right positions; only right principles” routine, but this time I didn’t. (In Alexander Technique terms, I inhibited.) It was a teaching moment; for me. I didn’t assume my usual Alexander Technique position. I wised up; hopefully, once and for owl.
