When we're tensed, the tension that takes place in our body comes in a certain pattern.  for example when I sit at the computer - I might tighten my shoulders,while at the same time contract my neck, as I push it in between the shoulders, while my head falls back and down.  The Alexander Technique looks at these patterns and guides us how not to fall into such patterns, how to prevent  unnecessary tension, and how to avoid tension-reaction even at the critical moment when we're about to start typing, bending, walking, or any other activity.  To experience the Alexander work - feel free to check about Shula's class in the National Holistic Institute.  The class will start on Wed. November 4th at 7:00 pm.  You can call (818) 886-4153 for additional information.
