The ASO Newsletter - 34th Edition

Helping you stay connected to Alexander Technique related research


Introduction

This month Monika Gross, Executive Director of The Poise Project, makes the case for teachers using Alexander Technique (AT) knowledge gained through research and practice to connect with professionals in fields beyond the performing arts and somatic disciplines. She urges us to be bolder and more creative in forging professional connections and describes her own very positive experiences of connecting with professionals in rehabilitation medicine and others who are keen to learn of ways that they can support their clients. Thinking in terms of whole-person health may now be coming of age, and Monika provides practical advice about how to get started in promoting the AT among these other groups.

Do you have experience in connecting with other professionals? We’d love to hear from you. You can post a comment below or send us an email. We hope you feel inspired by the podcast and look forward to hearing from you!
