My Everyday Posture - Alexander Technique with Becky Sandler

01/05/2025

We have 8 baby chicks growing fast in our living room brooder, about to move outdoors to their chicken coop this weekend.
They have already brought such joy to our daily life. When we unzip their brooder, they all fly out gleefully showing off their new skills by perching with their warm dinosaur feet on our shoulders or making a (flying) run for the kitchen. The challenging part is catching them to go back in; the stealthy squats and extended reaching this requires reminds me daily of the need to stay active and limber as I age.

Come join me for this introductory Alexander Technique class. We will have fun doing movement sequences to help you find more ease and freedom in your daily activities - corralling your spring chickens, planting your gardens, or strolling through the city streets or the country hillsides.

In Everyday Movement for All, we open our senses and come to present. This enlivened awareness helps us notice when we may be holding our breath or adding excess tension. We learn to let go and move with freedom, balance, and joy.

Come see for yourself in my next 6-week series!

Many people find sitting painful or simply struggle to maintain an upright position. They start out sitting up straight and then slowly sink into an equally uncomfortable slouch. Sound familiar?

The Alexander Technique offers concrete tools for finding an in- between: easeful, sustainable sitting that encourages freer breathing and more comfort.

I celebrated teaching my 100th class of Everyday Movement for All through the Senior Services division of the Los Angeles LGBT Center recently! The wise, talented, and compassionate Marco Beghin of Body Economics first developed this class in person and after transitioning to Zoom during the pandemic he graciously offered me the opportunity to continue the journey when he had to step away. Thank you, Marco! ❤️ I have learned and grown so much as an Alexander Technique teacher (and as a human) with this group of remarkable individuals. With me in NYC and most of my students in LA, we come together every Friday to dance, move, and explore AT principles and procedures in connection with everyday activities. We also share laughs, sorrows and stories from our lives. Each class concludes with constructive rest. Thank you my dear friends; I can’t wait to keep learning, discovering and growing with you over the next 100 classes and beyond. And one of these days, I’m going to make it to LA so we can hold class in person!

These are screenshots from class 100 and 101 as I wanted to include as many of our "regulars" as possible!

Ahhh..the delights of working from home! But what about that neck position? I tell my students (and my daughters too) that reclining is fine but watch out for right angles in the spine. Do you see how her back is flat but her neck is vertical? If she just pulled that top pillow down a touch to make it a more gradual rise (from the bed to her head) it would be so much better. For our spine, we want a little bit of action in a whole lot of places, but this is a whole lot of action in just one place. Listen to Mama! You’ll thank me in years to come. 😍
