Moving with Ease is a fifty-five minute program that teaches you 1.) the principles of the Alexander Technique, 2.) basic information about your joints and bones, and 3.) a set of integrating movements to help you practice using your body for greatest ease.

This program teaches a movement pattern for each part of your body that you can learn and explore.  Along with the movements you will learn the transformative images and thinking you can apply to dramatically improve ease, freedom, and fluid balance. You can use the DVD in many ways to learn this approach. You will explore the principles of the psycho-physical approach, The Alexander Technique.

Attempts to keep our bodies fit and healthy will often lead us to undesired results. The harder we push, we figure, the better we’ll be. But it’s not usually true. Repetition and effort can often lead to unexpected injury—a shoulder that freezes up, a chronic ache in your hip.

Then too there are the stresses of everyday work—stiff neck, headaches, lower back pain, tiredness, and jaw tension. To top it all off, as we age, our bodies change, they aren’t as tough as they used to be. We find that we must move more carefully, slow down. We begin to lose our balance, our posture starts to collapse.

But wait. It doesn’t have to turn out that way. We can change what we do so that we avoid injury, ease the stresses of our daily lives, and take charge of our own health and success.

Sarah Barker created this DVD so that you can begin to make the changes you desire. With animated images set over moving bodies you’ll see the way your joints move in your body. You will explore simple physical movements and learn how to use the Alexander Technique way of thinking in your body that dramatically increases ease, freedom, and fluid balance.

Testimonials

“Sarah Barker’s instructional DVD on the Alexander Technique is a revelation.  The animated visual depiction of anatomy in motion allows the viewer to truly see what she is being guided to visualize.  Without an Alexander teacher nearby, I have been unable to seek out instruction not only for myself but for my students.   Sarah’s years of expertise, her musical voice, clear instructions and beautifully organized interface has given us a method of exploration that has yielded powerful results.

I purchased several, and have made it a part of my introductory movement classes so that each of my students can benefit from its lessons. Many of my students LOVED working with your DVD!”

Professor Leslie Bennett, Professor of Movement, University of Kansas

“Sarah Barker has used today’s technology to demystify Alexander’s process for gaining awareness and control of the self…something that many have tried but few have succeeded. This presentation will help to bring these pragmatic and needed principles to the masses and is must viewing for students and teachers alike.”

Paul Cook, Alexander Technique Teacher, Editor/Publisher/ DIRECTION Journal (Foremost Publication on Alexander Technique)

“Using your Alexander DVD’s was a fabulous experience.  My process was to study one part at a time, learning from you for each part from the DVD.  Your concise and clear explanations of those things that we as movement teachers intuitively know was so helpful to get it into Alexander terms and simple anatomical images.  I need more work of this kind on my own body and hope to find an Alexander teacher in the area to work with as well. Thanks for much for creating a way for non-Alexander movement teachers to use this work.”

“The DVD continues to be a fabulous part of my AT class.  I use some segments in class, assign others, and then we do the whole sequence together in a couple of the end of term classes.  Then this past term particularly, I’ve found myself referencing the DVD as I do individual lessons with students (for example, working with a student on how to weed a garden with a low fence around it – referenced the torso section and moving up and over a ball).  Since my whole agenda is to give them tools to continue on their own, I’ve loved finding ways – like the DVD – to reinforce their own exploration.”
