What We Offer

We offer retreats in magical settings where you learn useful skills both in your work and everyday life. Creating a balanced integration of mental intelligence, emotional intelligence, physical intelligence, and balance and ease in the way you think, feel, and move.

These retreats offer an in-depth study of PsychoPhysical learning. Our primary focus is on the Alexander Technique, Yoga, and the Feldenkrais Method. These three disciplines will help you observe your habits in the way you think, feel, and move. Our job in life is to wake up and be more present in our relationship to our work, to other people, and especially to ourselves.

The Alexander Technique Retreats offers 6-day events to help you explore how your overall coordination, balance, and breath affect the quality of not only your movement but the way you live your life.

Alexander Technique Retreats International
What Are These Disciplines?
The Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, and Yoga are three related modalities. They all integrate the mental, emotional, and physical intelligence that allows an integrative balance within ourselves. The larger umbrella that they are covered under is called Psychophysical Re-education or Somatic Education. 
 
Alexander Technique is a learning method that teaches improved posture and movement, which helps reduce stress, stage fright, and prevent problems caused by unhelpful habits. During a number of lessons, you're taught to be more aware of your body, how to improve poor posture and move more efficiently.
 
Feldenkrais Method is a type of exercise therapy that uses gentle, mindful movement to bring new awareness into every aspect of your life. The method reorganizes connections between the brain and body and so improves body movement and psychological state allowing a new way of thinking.
 
Yoga is a gentle way to improve your posture, balance, and coordination. Yoga is a systematic practice of physical exercise, breath control, relaxation, diet control, and meditation aimed at developing harmony in the body, mind, and environment. We use the term Viniyoga—an ancient Sanskrit term that implies differentiation, adaptation, and appropriate application—to refer to our approach that adapts yoga practice to the unique conditions, needs, and interests of each individual.

How We Feel is Revealed by How We Move

We are designed for movement. WHAT’S GETTING IN YOUR WAY?

Inherent in our design is an incredible capacity for ease, flexibility, power, and expressiveness, whether dancing, hammering a nail, working at a computer, singing, or simply walking.

All too often, we unknowingly interfere with this design as we perform our daily activities. Energy, delight, and grace are replaced by effort, tension, and fatigue.

The Enso

You may notice our logo incorporates an "enso." The reason being, in Zen Buddhism, an enso is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. This Zen Circle represents the essence of non-doing, no action within the action.
