Caprice Boisvert: Movement Re-education

10/25/2024

I really enjoyed the ATI Conference in Dorset last weekend. Met some old friends and lots of new ones. And what an amazing venue!

I spent the weekend at the CanFitPro Global Fitness Conference. All day yesterday, I thought it was Sunday because of the fitness conference. The highlight of the weekend (for me) was Perdita Felicien’s keynote at the closing ceremonies.

So nice to sleep in this morning after waking up at 5:45 two days in a row. Two ten hour days filled with learning and my brain is tired.

I was honoured to be invited to teach at the South Bank Alexander Centre back in February of this year. This interview with Peter Nobes is a lovely example of why he is so good at what he does. Alexander Technique is the “freedom to” do/be whatever you choose in that moment. It is “freedom from the ‘shoulds’” in our life. I really like that!

Interview with Peter Nobes from London, United Kingdom, about Alexander Technique and life.

A colleague/friend of mine gave me a shout-out yesterday. It was very unexpected and really made my day! My knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics combined with the Alexander Technique allows me to teach exercise in a unique way. Reach out if you are interested in exploring how you lunge, press, lift, and curl! Thanks again, Stefanie!

I just came across this title in an email from the University of Toronto: “Look Again: The Power of Noticing What was Always There.”

I have not yet read this book, but the description of it reminds me of Alexander Technique. Why? Because Alexander Technique is about changing how we *think*. Sure, lots of people discover AT because they have neck pain, back pain, hip pain. But ultimately, AT is about changing the way we think about things, whether those things are movements or objects or relationships.

I’m going to check this book out. Maybe you might want to as well. And maybe you might want to try an Alexander lesson and find out what the heck I am talking about. 🙂

I should probably have posted about this sooner, but better late than never.

NEXT WEEKEND, I am super chuffed that I will be the Visiting Teacher at Peter Nobes’ South Bank Alexander Centre in London UK, Friday 9 February to Sunday 11 February.

If you or someone you know is in London and would like to come for an intro to the Alexander Technique, you are welcome to come to the “Open House” portion of the weekend (Saturday 10 February 10:30am to 1pm). Peter says your first visit is free. After that, it will cost a little £.

I wanted to attach some cool photos of me doing a bit of “hands on”, but it turns out I don’t have many - just a few from workshops I attended over a decade ago. Perhaps someone will take photos of me and a few students on this trip! 😎
