Movement
Animals and humans are designed in the same way.
The head leads and the body follows.
From the pictures you can see easy and free movement from muscles which have lengthened and extended into a forward motion. The movement comes from free joints, especially the hips. There is no sitting down on the joints causing a downward pressure, restricting movement in the body.
A lovely energy spring can be seen coming from the forward release.
If you would like to find the free and easy movement you had as a child in order to use it in your creative work:
What people are saying:
“Barbara’s work is an essential addition to the actor’s toolbox. Letting go of habits on all levels gives the actor the freedom to explore without tension and judgement. No actor should be without the freedom created by understanding how their body and their mind are released simply by aligning their physical self.”Adrian Barnes
“For all of us, not just actors, life puts great stress and strain on our bodies. The Alexander Technique has given me a self help method by teaching me to relax and adjust my posture so that my body, which for an actor is an instrument can work as well as possible.”Jeremy Irons
“Once freed from the habitual tensions (so common place they are often not even recognised by the actor and singer) then the body can release into a greater range of expression with freedom, power and confidence.”Brett Wood
“Without The Alexander Technique it is very difficult to become a first rate Actor”Larry Moss
“I find The AlexanderTtechnique very helpful in my work. Things happen without you trying. Movement becomes light and relaxed.”John Cleese
