Looking after yourself while looking after others

Looking after yourself TO look after others

When interacting with patients or clients, we are always influencing outcomes with our own self, our own way of being. The quality of our touch conveys what we are doing with our selves physically, mentally and emotionally as we are doing what we are doing. And by looking after our own self – our own way of being as we are with them – we can help to empower them while empowering ourselves.
 
This workshop invites you to experience the skills of self-mastery that support your therapeutic use of self for the benefit of your client and your self. 

Friday, Oct. 3 10-12 @ downtown Missoula

Enjoy movement to music! This class is geared toward people wanting to get back to moving and people who want to keep moving. Movements are based on dance, tai chi, exercise, developmental movement and daily life (and of course – Alexander Technique!) to keep you moving even when you don’t want to go outside! You can participate on your feet or in a chair, or go back and forth. Class finishes with a nervous system quiet down.

Mindful Movement @ Red Willow

This class is currently not being offered. We will hopefully return to a regular schedule in January. Please contact me if you are interested and I will keep you updated.

In this gentle movement class you’ll discover how you can free up your body and quiet your mind to prevent, reduce and manage pain and to move with greater freedom and ease. Movement exploration is based on the Alexander Technique, an embodied mindfulness practice shown to reduce pain and anxiety, and improve balance, coordination and respiratory function.

Mindful Movement involves the whole mind-body self in a practice that brings us more fully into the body in the present moment. You will learn how you can reduce patterns of tension that create excess effort and that pull your body out of its natural, easy alignment. Alexander Technique promotes healthy organization of the whole body and integrated movement. This practice helps us to become more aware of what we are doing in our mind-body self without realizing it. With practice we cultivate the ability to choose how we would like to move and act in every activity.

We apply this practice to movements and activities of daily life to discover ways of sitting, standing, walking, reaching, bending, lying down, breathing and all the other movements of life with greater ease, comfort, freedom, balance and coordination. Alexander Technique helps us to discover an easier, kinder way of being and moving that we can take into our daily life so we can move through life with greater ease and get more benefit and enjoyment out of movement.
