Group Classes
Group classes can be another valuable way to study the Alexander Technique. While students don't receive as much individual attention as in a private lesson, group classes offer the benefits of observation, group activities and discussion. They can be an excellent way to get an introduction to the Technique or focus on a specialized activity, and can serve as a useful supplement to individual lessons. Imogen is currently offering the following group classes:

Do you sit at your computer each day, eyes on the screen, hand on the mouse, deeply absorbed in your work or pressured to meet a deadline? You barely move for hours, until late in the day you feel compressed and tense - maybe your elbow has started to tingle, pain shooting through your forearm, or your fingers go numb. Maybe your back is aching and neck sore, but you ignore the symptoms to get the work done. In this class you will get tips from the Alexander Technique on how to sit well while at the computer. Not only does finding the best sitting position help relieve your aches and pains, it makes you more productive. Learn how to set up your chair and computer station at work or at home so as to promote good posture and reduce strain. You will also learn how to lie down in the "balanced resting state" as a way to relieve the tension and stress of many hours sitting at a desk, restoring good, natural spinal alignment. (See flier from previous class.)
Cost: $20

Do you carry more tension in your shoulders than seems necessary? You find yourself slumped over in your chair, shoulders sloping forward, arms and fingers tense. When you try and correct it, you feel stiff and uncomfortable. Your neck shoulders and upper back get painful and sore. In this class you will get tips from the Alexander Technique on how to find good shoulder balance, and discover ways to reduce tension in the arms when reaching. Learn how the amount of tension carried in your shoulders and arms directly relates to your head, neck and back. Not only does a reducation in unnecessary tension help relieve your aches and pains, you gain more energy by moving more efficiently and with greater ease. You will also learn how to lie down in the "balanced resting state" as a way to allow muscles and joints to release excess tension, while restoring good, natural spinal alignment. (See flier from previous class.)
