11 The Superman Gesture - Learning to Control Your Arms

Are you ready for some pain? This Superman procedure will take you places, but we also examine in this video why we have to consider the means whereby we make gestures. Even when we think we’re just moving our arm, observation reveals we’re often moving our torso at the same time. Are you moving your torso into a shorter or longer configuration? That will matter more than what you do or don’t do with your arm. I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you’re doing and overcome lifelong habits? In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.
