OPRAH Endorses Alexander Technique

Hey Folks. A little ditty from Oprah Magazine on alternative back pain treatments.

http://www.oprah.com/health/Alternative-Medicine-Pain-Treatments

In honor of Alexander Awareness Week, I'm offering a $13 trial free lesson.... Pay for the space, take a load off, spread yourself out LONG AND WIDE. Your back will thank you for a long time to come....

Until next time...hope you're all having a sweet sort of day. It's your day after all. So why not take just a sec and notice where you are in space? Are you pulling up? Falling down? Squeezing, holding and making yourself tense all around?


You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go. ~
- Dr. Seuss


Happy days,

The Alexander Technique Enhances Surgical Proficiency

Eureka...This is hot off the press! The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, a leading children's hospital in the country, presented this research about surgical proficiency and the Alexander Technique at the annual meeting of The American Academy of Pediatrics in San Francisco. YUMMY! We're hitting mainstream folks, read all about it. Okay...so we may not all become surgeons in this lifetime (blood, ew), but just remember, whether you're making a surgical incision at some poor dude's throat (God is in the details) or making your bed nice and neat (who doesn't want good orderly direction?), the Alexander Technique enhances your daily life big time.

British Medical Journal Endorses Alexander Lessons

Hi Friends. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. OH...how IS that your neck of yours? Is it smooshed into your back? Is your lower back caving in? are your shoulders aching? lest you forget....Take a minute to notice where you are in space. Are you pulling up? Falling down? Squeezing, holding and making yourself tense all around?

Okay. I realize that nursery poems are the last thing you want to hear when your back is screaming at you and your Chiropractor is missing in action. But let me share this good news! The word is officially out. The British Medical Journal released a major study last year which revealed "One to one lessons in the Alexander technique from registered teachers have long term benefits for patients with chronic back pain."

If that weren't enough... take a look at this very cool video on the benefits of the work. Simple folk talking about a simple idea...feeling GOOD.
