A great message for your Monday!

✨MONDAY MOTIVATION: Give Yourself Room to Begin Again

A new week doesn’t have to mean pushing harder, moving faster, or doing more. Sometimes, the most meaningful progress begins when we pause, take a breath, and notice how we’re moving through the world.

The Alexander Technique invites us to bring awareness to our everyday habits, release unnecessary tension, and discover a little more ease in how we move, work, and live.

This Monday, give yourself permission to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and approach the week with curiosity rather than pressure.

You don’t have to force progress. Sometimes, you just have to make room for it.

Wishing you a week filled with greater awareness, ease, and possibility.

I often like to refer to the Alexander Technique as a "technique of subtraction." Here, my colleague Amanda MacDonald talks about learning to do less.

Thank you to the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT) for helping me and my book celebrate today!

📚 Celebrating an AmSAT member!

We’re thrilled to celebrate AmSAT-certified teacher and member, Lauren Hill, whose book has been named a 2026 Living Now Book Awards Finalist! 🎉

The Living Now Book Awards recognize books that inspire healthier, more fulfilling lives—and we’re proud to see the Alexander Technique represented among them.

As Lauren shares, “It’s unfortunate but true that although it’s well over 125 years old, the Alexander Technique continues to be relatively unknown. I wrote this book because I don’t want people to continue to “happen to hear about the Alexander Technique” or “be lucky enough to have heard about the Alexander Technique.” This book is my small part to help change that. This book is a fun, accessible, and practical introduction to the Alexander Technique—without all the jargon! I am thrilled that the book is a 2026 Living Now Book Awards Finalist!”

Congratulations, Lauren, on this well-deserved recognition! We’re grateful for the work you’re doing to help introduce more people to the Alexander Technique.

Look at the bigger picture.

What if your back pain isn’t just about your back?

The way you sit. The way you stand. The way you move through your day. Even the way you respond when something hurts.

The Alexander Technique invites you to look at the bigger picture—not by telling you to “fix” your posture, but by exploring how you use yourself in everyday life.

If back pain has become something you simply work around, it may be worth exploring a different approach.

Could changing how you move change how you feel? Food for thought. 💭

So great to spend 4 full days immersed in something I care so deeply about and surrounded by others who do, too. Thank you to all the organizers who worked tirelessly to put on the 2026 AmSAT ACGM in New York City last week. It was a great event.

Did you miss it? No worries.

My recent one-hour online workshop, “A Few of My Favorite Things,” is now available to view through The Judith Leibowitz Scholarship Fund (JLSF) online video library.

In the one-hour workshop, join me as I lead you through eight activities that explore some basic Alexander Technique principles, simple anatomy, and a few important things we should all know about the nature of habit.

If you’ve read my recently published book, What Your Body Wants You to Know, and have been wishing for some one-on-one guidance with some of the STOP AND EXPLORE activities, you’re in luck because…

…several of the activities in the workshop come directly from the following chapters of the book:

Chapter 6: Body Basics
Chapter 8: What Don’t You Want
Chapter 11: Hidden Obstacles
Chapter 17: The Search for the Holy Grail

Get access to the workshop video for as little as a $15.00 donation.

All donations are tax-deductible and help provide scholarship assistance for Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, and People of Color to train as Alexander Technique teachers. JLSF scholarship recipients receive tuition support for a selected 1600-hour AmSAT-approved training course.

Donate to a great cause to view my workshop. But don’t stop there. Check out all 80+ workshops available.
