WaitlistNenad Stojkovic (flickr) (CC BY 2.0)Alexander Technique (Washburn at Justice Page)Yoga & Mind-Body PracticesThe Alexander Technique can be described as a tool for building what is referred to as self- efficacy. Self - efficacy is the skill of believing in our own ability to succeed; to regulate our thoughts, emotions and life; and to cope with challenges in a constructive way. Alexander Technique can help us to manage our response to stressors, and prevent injury or burnout. Results of studying Alexander Technique are often described as improved posture, easier breathing, reduced pain or eased anxiety, but these are only indirect results of our bodies and minds, our entire selves learning to trust.Adult Enrichment Winter 2023
