Nia Movement Form #8 - Alexander Tech.
Posted: Oct 5, 11:38 PM
HEALING ART: Alexander Technique
Catch Phrase: Movement From the Top
In Your Nia Practice: Nia moves inspired by The Alexander Technique focus on redirecting your movement from the top, the head, helping you to change stereotyped response patterns that can create inefficient postural habits. A Nia Alexander Technique experience gives you the power to change the way you move and hold your body by redirecting the use of your head in a ‘forward and up and away from the torso’ relationship to gravity. Proper use of the head and neck is primary in coordinating the use of whole body movement and in developing integrated movement. The practice includes; imagining, intending, allowing your back to lengthen and widen, learning how to behave as though you are a whole person, never disconnecting any part of your body from the other and being completely connected in body and mind. These are just few of the self-healing techniques offered by this amazing body of work.
