In a lesson I will use my hands in an informed and gentle way to present an opportunity and ask a question. What if I let my neck be free, in order for the head to go forward and up, in order for the back to lengthen and widen? These are Alexander's directions, an implicit part of what he called the primary control. In its absence we fall into patterns that are counter to our best interest. We push the head back and down, stiffen the spine, land in chairs and subway seats with high impact and at considerable risk to our well-being. As my hands awaken this primary relationship you will find that you move more easily in your joints and that you use your self more advantageously in activity. You will begin to reclaim the childlike pleasure of expansive, unfettered movement.
