Minding Movement

With COVID-19 bringing my Canadian ski trip to a screeching halt, I figured I would take social distancing seriously. How’s putting teaching aside and taking refuge on a frozen lake? Wishing everyone good health and safety during these times. #mindingmovement #socialdistancing #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #alexandertechniquevancouver #alexandertechniquecanada#wellness #vancouveralexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueforsinging #antisocialsocialclub #whistler #whistlerblackcomb #semisupine #wildernessculture

What an honour it is was being invited to present an A.T. workshop at UBC’s Wellness Week for musicians. I loved how open minded and willing they were in exploring intention, movement, and sound. #alexandertechnique #mindingmovement#alexandertechniquevancouver #alexandertechniquecanada #poise #alexandertechniqueformusicians #poiseproject #musicians #trumpetplayer #ubcmusicschool#ubcorchestra

I started playing ultimate 4 years ago, and I really struggled to make throws that didn’t just nose dive straight into the grass. I knew I was letting my team down, being asked not to pick up the disc, and I decided something had to change. Thankfully, the amazing and generous @keithjchow (Team Canada WJUC 2016 and @uwoultimate ) gave me some really helpful tips. Keith always spoke about having just the right touch, using just the right amount of energy to make the foreha...nd throw. Using my Alexander Technique hat, I realized that he saw me preemptively mentally and kinaesthetically holding with tension before the throw followed by over-efforting. In a year, I’ve made so much improvement that today, I even get to be a team handler sometimes! I’m so thankful I have AT for giving me clarity and awareness in using my body. Even if I don’t have Keith’s natural talent and awareness, I’m glad I have tools and friends to help elevate my game. #mindingmovement #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniquecanada #alexandertechniquevancouver #vancouver_ultimate #awareness #ultimatefrisbee #raincityultimate#rcuc See more

Zac demonstrates effortless, dynamic poise. Most young children naturally embody the principles of the Alexander Technique. You can learn AT to reattain the same natural psychophysical guide-posts that allow effective movement through your life. A special thanks goes to @andreamlam for allowing Zac to be featured.
