Applied Alexander Technique Blog

Hello friends,

On the morning before my talk at East-West Bookstore, Bonnie Coleen interviewed me about the Alexander Technique, on her personal growth talk radio, Seeing Beyond. We spoke about the essence of the Technique; what it is and also, what happens in a lesson. Bonnie did a great job pulling stories out of me. I hope you'll listen and let me know what you think!

Hear the talk online by clicking here.

You'll hear an invitation to come to East-West, so please be just a little patient as it begins.

I'd love to hear from you.

Peace,

Dana

Hello my friends!

Are you curious about what this Alexander Technique is all about?
Come to a free talk that I'll be giving later this month.

It will be at East-West Bookstore in downtown Mt. View. Here is the information from their Events listing.

Come say hi if you attend. If you mention that you saw the notice of the event on this blog, I'll offer you a complimentary 20-minute consultation.

Peace,

Dana

About the Event:
We all know that good posture is better for our health. Indeed, the way we carry ourselves in our daily life affects our whole self—the entire, psycho-physical-spiritual being. But despite all we know about posture, why is it so difficult to do? Mind and body are inextricably linked and we can help that connection improve its function. Dana Ben-Yehuda, M.AmSAT, is a Certified Alexander Teacher in her 10th year of private practice. The Alexander Technique is about the connection between thought and muscular activity and is a skill for self-empowered healing. Come to a lively talk/demonstration and see for yourself what it's all about.

Hello my friends,

Today's Huffington Post has an article by blogger, *Dr. Loren Fishman: The Ten Commandments of Back Pain.

Amongst her recommendations, Dr. Fishman recommends Alexander Technique. She said that her patients say that it "works wonders for back pain."

Take a look...give me a call. Living pain free is a worthwhile goal.

Peace,

Dana

*Dr. Fishman is the Medical Director of Manhattan Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in New York City.

Hello Friends!

It has been too long...and it is time to reconnect. Thanks so much for stopping by.

The Dance Department at San Jose State University has a year-long class in Kinesiology. This term they're studying practices for injury prevention and well-being. Luckily, that includes Alexander Technique and I was lucky to be invited to teach.

The Technique is a skill for thinking in the body, in activity and stillness. It's a way of increasing your awareness that empowers you to have more conscious control in movement. So...come find freedom to choose your expression, dancers! If you didn't wake up in time today, see you Thursday!*

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 am, May 3 - 12.

Hope to see you there!

Dana

*Enrollment in the course is required.
