The Core Stability Myth
It’s taken ten years to discover that the founding principles of Pilates are flawed, writes Peta Bee in The Times - Body & Soul.
Among exercise scientists there is growing dissent about whether the pursuit of a strong core is worthwhile or even safe. Stuart McGill, professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada, says: “Too much emphasis is placed on working the transversus abdominis and if people follow that advice they are misguided and will not achieve better movement or less pain.” More...
Teach Us to Sit Still
The new book by novelist Tim Parks describes his journey from debilitating pain, back to health. The solution was to be found in quietening his over active mind. This personal account seems to echo FM Alexander's own unique discovery, and the link between mind and body.
“Just when the medical profession had given up on me and I on it, just when I seemed to be walled up in a life sentence of chronic pain, someone proposed a bizarre way out: sit still, they said, and breathe. I sat still. I breathed. It seemed a tedious exercise at first, rather painful, not immediately effective. Eventually it proved so exciting, so transforming, physically and mentally, that I began to think my illness had been a stroke of luck.”
Times of Uncertainty - Times of Opportunity
We are living in interesting times. For many people, professional security has shifted recently. There is a growing need to be more flexible in attitudes to employment, and more creative in responses to new challenges and opportunities. Maybe it's time to consider training to become an Alexander Teacher.
The profile of the Alexander Technique profession has risen sharply over the last year. The medical profession is increasingly enthusiastic about the benefits of the Alexander Technique, and are referring more of their patients than ever before. The Technique is not only suitable for medical conditions, but it has also proven itself as an effective tool for relieving anxiety and coping with stress on a daily basis. The future is looking increasingly holistic, as people make new choices for wellness and harmony in their lives. For more information, please visit the ATTS website.
