Great to work with the CSO Kingsland Fellows this week. We spent the morning exploring ways to better use our bodies - with the goal of avoiding playing injuries, and achieving more ease and efficiency whilst playing our instruments. We even did some anatomy- helped by my assistant Bony Tony.

Excellent to see the Alexander technique return to being covered by private health insurance 👍

Australians will be able to access a range of natural therapies under their private health insurance following an independent review of their effectiveness.

I’m looking forward to contributing to teacher well being - at the Arts Up Front conference. We need to keep our teachers well💪

✋ Teachers!! Do you find it difficult to prioritise your own wellbeing? Are you able to model self-care to your students?

☀️🌙 We encourage you to spend time learning with Steve Allen to be supported in these areas. Register for The Alexander Technique- Teacher self-care- looking after yourself whilst in the act of teaching!

🥰 In this session we will focus on teacher well-being and explore some simple and practical ways for teachers to better care for themselves whilst they go about their craft of teaching. The aim is to provide participants with more agency regarding managing their health and offer some tools to add to their self-care kit. We will investigate some of the principles of the Alexander Technique, a modality which can be described as a method of rediscovering natural balance and poise through thinking in activity. Please bring a yoga mat to this session (some mats will be provided)!

👉 Check out the IMP Website for more details and to register.
📆 Registration opens January 31 2025.

I’m very much looking forward to sharing some Alexander Technique concepts with local Arts Teachers at the wonderful Arts Up Front conference on Sat 15th March.

🌟 Introducing wellbeing presenter - Steve Allen!

☀️ Steve first encountered the Alexander Technique (AT) during his music studies at ANU. It became clear to him that this technique had much to offer in achieving improved ease and fluency on his instrument, the Classical Guitar, whilst also reducing the risk of injury and providing access to pain-free playing. As Steve further explored the AT, he realised it had a significant application beyond music, with positive impacts on his ability to manage stress, daily activities and general well-being.

🪫 As a classroom music teacher, Steve found the AT helpful in managing fatigue and burnout during the hectic pace of a school day. The AT provided him with a tool to better care for himself whilst in the act of teaching, promoting a less strained, more present, efficient and sustainable way to exist.

🌳 Having completed 3 years of AT Teacher training, Steve is now helping others discover the benefits of this simple, yet effective tool, with people remarking “I wish I had known about this earlier”. Steve is registered with AUSTAT (Australian Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique) and can be contacted through his studio Balancing ACT Alexander Technique.

🎉Be sure to register for Steve's workshop: The Alexander Technique - Teacher self-care- looking after yourself whilst in the act of teaching!
Session 3: 2.05 - 3.40pm

Wonderful to be exploring the art of balance on ski’s in a beautiful setting- Niseko Japan. Applying the Alexander Technique has been super helpful in achieving ease, endurance and fluency on the snow, and has meant minimal muscle soreness and strain despite skiing 6 days straight.
