Yoga and Alexander Technique – Deconstructing Vinyasa

Come join Tanya Witman and Rochelle Reea for a fun, unique and informative workshop combining Alexander Technique and alignment-based yoga on September 28th from 11am to 2pm at Ignite Fitness in Tucson.

Alexander Technique focuses on identifying and correcting habits that we have developed over the years that prohibit our bodies from moving freely and painlessly.  Per Joan Arnold, a practitioner and author in New York, “The Alexander Technique is a way of learning to move mindfully through life. The Alexander process shines a light on inefficient habits of movement and patterns of accumulated tension, which interferes with our innate ability to move easily and according to how we are designed. It’s a simple yet powerful approach that offers the opportunity to take charge of one’s own learning and healing process, because it’s not a series of passive treatments but an active exploration that changes the way one thinks and responds in activity. It produces a skill set that can be applied in every situation. Lessons leave one feeling lighter, freer, and more grounded.”

In the first half of the workshop, Rochelle will introduce you to the Technique, and for the second part we will use what we learned as well as yoga cues to help deconstruct the foundational Sun Salutation.  You will leave the workshop clear on how to move through this flow of poses safely, with strength and awareness.
