Sally Ahner, ATI-certified Teacher of the Alexander Technique and Senior Artist Teacher at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of music, sits down with us to discuss body-mind awareness.
Day by day, year by year, our bodies pick up habits that introduce tension into our movements and posture. Could your jaw tension be linked to the way you stand, the back of your neck, or the tilt of your head?
Sally walks us through a 101 break-down of how to retrain habitual patterns of tension, to rethink our kinesthetic sense, and to allow freedom to trump bad habits.
