Alexander-Technik Workshop mit Richard Brennan 02/23

Liebe Alexander-Technik Interessierte!

es ist wieder soweit! Richard Brennan kommt für einen weiteren Workshop nach Hamburg. Und zwar an dem ersten November Wochenende. Mit seinem feinen Humor und seiner pragmatischen Art die AT anschaulich zu vermitteln, hat er bei uns einen tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen. Jetzt kommen wir wieder in den Genuss.

'Exploring new ways of giving Directions'

As stated in ‚The Use of the Self‘ at the time Alexander used the directions or orders „Allow the neck to be free so that the head can go forward and up and the back to lengthen and widen“. Yet in November 1946 Walter Carrington states that Alexander announced to people training and other teachers that “he had decided that we must cut out in future teaching all instructions to order the neck to relax or to be free, because such orders only lead to other forms of doing.”

In this two day workshop we will explore how different people interpret the original directions in different ways and start to explore what Alexander put in place of his original directions after 1946 and how he changed everything again in the 1950’s.

This will be a practical hands-on workshop! Please bring an open mind and a willingness to discover for yourself the effects when you think in new ways of about Alexander’s directions!

Richard Brennan hat die Alexander-Technik seit 1983 studiert und unterrichtet sie seit über 30 Jahren hauptberuflich. Er reist viel durch Europa und die USA und hält Vorträge und Kurse über die Technik. Richard wurde in zahlreichen Zeitungen und Magazinen vorgestellt. Er hat acht Bücher über die Alexander-Technik, Körperhaltung und Gesundheit geschrieben, die in 22 Sprachen übersetzt wurden, darunter Deutsch, Französisch, Italienisch, Spanisch, Russisch und Slowenisch, und die weltweit verkauft werden. Sein 9. Buch Evolve to Move erschien 2024. Richard lebt in Galway, Irland, wo er Direktor des Alexander Teacher Training College, Irland (STAT anerkannt) ist. Außerdem ist er Präsident der Irish Society of Alexander Technique Teachers. (ISSAT)

Moving Though Life with Greater Ease – An Introduction to the Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a method of self-awareness on many levels. It is very simple and can be understood by anyone, yet at the same time it is very profound. It is a way of improving balance, posture and co-ordination. It can be very useful, for example to musicians who suffer from tension problems when playing their instrument. Many people think that the Alexander Technique involves improving posture by ‘sitting up straight’. Nothing could be further from the truth. It involves being aware and releasing the unconscious tension from our body allowing us to move through life with greater ease. It can dramatically help prevent or alleviate backache, neck pain, arthritis, insomnia, depression as well as a whole range of physical aches and pains that are so common in our society today. As these tensions are released, so are many of the thoughts which hold us back from being who we truly are. Emotions that may have been trapped within our body for decades can gently and safely be released. Many people ﬁnd that the Alexander Technique helps their conﬁdence and self-esteem, spontaneity, leading to greater contentment and a deeper love of life naturally grow.

The workshop will cover the needs of the group, but the following topics are usually covered

! Easing Back and neck pain

! Improving posture without effort

! Improving breathing

! Reducing Stress

! Sitting, standing and walking with ease

! Mind/body/emotional unity

By using the Alexander Technique you will learn how to move with gravity, instead of against it, thus achieving greater ease of movement which will in turn affect your mental and emotional outlook on life; you will feel calmer, less stressed and therefore will have a greater

control of your own life.
