The real secret of speed and agility in running does not lie in how quickly muscles contract but how quickly they release. Discover, for yourself, how and why natural running begins precisely where mechanical running ends. The Alexander Technique invites the runner on to a journey of self awareness of how the body is used and the impact of that use on how you function.
Many runners are not aware of their own habitual patterns of running and how they can contribute to injury, mis-alignment and pain. Just imagine yourself escaping from muscle tightness, strained ligaments, runners knee, cramp and blisters by having a better understanding of how the body was designed to be used in the running action.
Using the Alexander Technique John Woodward will take you on a ‘head to toe’ journey of yourself as you gradually rediscover the freedom of running across open sand like the carefree child you once were (and can be again) with a little help and guidance from some dedicated teachers and the Alexander Technique.
