Trauma-Informed AlexanderTechnique - Co-regulation in Practice

Anthony is giving a trauma-informed Alexander Technique session to Danielle.
The Lesson was recorded on December 2nd, 2022, in London.
The Alexander Technique is usually associated with necks, backs and movement. But it can be so much more! Anthony demonstrates how the Technique can be used in a trauma-informed way. In particular, drawing on the research of Stephen Porges and the Polyvagal Theory as well as his own training as a psychotherapist, Anthony demonstrates the importance of creating an emotionally safe space. Please see a link to Stephen Porges' website below. In this space, and together with the Alexander capacities for inhibition and neurological stillness, old emotions can surface and be integrated. This video highlights the process of co-regulation in practice.

In his Alexander sessions, Anthony can help you retune yourselves, experience an uplifting of the body and mind, and deal much more effectively with the demands and stress of daily life.
Anthony is also a trained psychotherapist, and offers somatic psychotherapy sessions and a safe space for emotional learning and processing.
For those who can not reach him in person, Anthony Kingsley has pioneered a unique way of offering Alexander Technique sessions Online. Of course, the essential beauty and power of the Technique resides in direct communication via the hands of a highly skilled Alexander Teacher. But during this challenging time, we may need a space to quieten our nervous systems, and recover a sense of balance and harmony.

All I want for Christmas is an Alexander lesson

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

From your mouth to the ears of Santa!

[@dih2606]

Love these so much and I'm finally understanding it after knowing about AT for 3 decades.

[@UncleTroll85]

She's one of the more active/engaged participants I've seen you work with. She actually asked questions and carried on the conversations more than most of the patients in previous videos. I'd love to volunteer for one of these lessons if I'm ever in your area.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

You would be very welcome, Steve

[@moukafaslouka4796]

I will never understand what this Alexander business really is about. However, it's pure unintentional ASMR. This is why I keep coming back to it.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Enjoy!

[@AbdulazizAlmawash]

Same here

[@thebeasters]

A simple Google search will get you there

[@cynthialovold9031]

It is about having correct posture to help your body and your back function as it should, without stressing it and causing problems like we do with poor and improper posture. It is amazing if you try it how different you feel. The hard thing is making it habit bc you need to be so mindful of it to break your “muscle memory” old habits.

[@terencedunning6986]

Great to see you back Anthony👍

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Thanks!

[@Achase4u]

I am very impressed by this student and see so much of my own experience in hers. My hat is off to her. Thank you for your lesson videos.

[@Dualhammers]

Nailed the audio on this one -- the ideal volume and frequency balance

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

I do my best. But I don't work with professionals, and do it all myself. So sometimes, it may be technically less than perfect...

[@thebeasters]

I've never had an issue with any of them,

[@Zippy177]

Yes! Another fantastic video thank you Anthony. Your calmness and kindness flows through every video. I absolutely love watching them. Fantastic engaged participant

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Glad you like them!

[@Friedtoenails]

Let the neck be free, I did some healing with my triangles, what we call triangles, and apologies for my sandwich breath. Have a wonderful response

[@TaraFinlay]

Agreed- welcome back. Looking forward to more of these. I just finished reading The Body Keeps the Score.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Hi Tara, Yes, an excellent book

[@mlife952]

Thanks Anthony Your words and articulation during this session truly resonates. Also appreciate the dialogue and connection happening throughout your support and touch.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

I appreciate that!

[@perplexiglas1]

People be so out of touch with themselves. Good on her for making the effort to be with her body genuinely.

[@BeeABaw]

Glad to have you back Anthony. 😊

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Thanks!

[@andreamcdonald6761]

Hi Anthony thank you for another calming and inspiring video. I shall remember the term " co- regulation" whenever I'm faced with someone in distress at work. Hope you're having a great winter break!

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Thanks, and you too!

[@petrapachaly5665]

Thank you so much for sharing, both of you!

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Hi Petra, happy you enjoyed it!

[@Littlehavanabaltimore]

Fantastic session Anthony, thank you.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Caswell19]

Yay more Alexander!!!

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Thanks

[@purplatypus7405]

Hoping to see more videos soon!

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

I will do my best!

[@r.h.0101]

Great video.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kimberlyyost6028]

Very interesting

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Glad you think so!

[@lukebfc]

I was so excited when I saw Anthony had posted a new video that I jumped up in delight but unfortunately this led me to forgetting to exit the chair correctly 😔

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

An excited jump is far superior to an over-cautious artificial act. Trying to exit the chair correctly is not my way!

[@sian1000]

Question: are there other people physically in the room watching this demonstration? Only because she expressed a little nervousness of “being watched.” Thank you!

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Yes. These demonstrations happen in front of Alexander students at my Training school in London.

[@elliep4102]

anyone else think she looks so much like dodie when she had short hair?? (when she takes her glasses off)

[@KrustyKrew24]

NEW VIDEO LETS GOOOOOOO

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

Happy to hear your enthusiasm!

[@yamabushisama]

Anyone notice Anthony is useing taichi step.

[@AlexanderTechnique33]

I have never learned Tai Chi. So I can't comment!

[@staceycohorst7132]

Giving Diana a run for her money

[@gordonclaydon6239]

I'm struggling to understand how all this invokes such deep emotional responses. Are you not just teaching people how to be more economical with their movements? The way you speak about being in a bubble and giving yourself permission and the feeling of shame and being more loveable and attractive is just totally going over my head. Please help me understand

[@MonaLisaFaceMusic]

It’s a release of physical habits that have been attached to the suppressing of emotions etc. I can only speak for myself but I know when I’m suppressing an emotion, there has almost always been a physical movement attached to that… even if it’s very subtle. Mind body connection.

[@gordonclaydon6239]

@@MonaLisaFaceMusic thank you for that explanation I think I understand what your saying. Perhaps it didn't make sense to me because I don't tend to suppress emotions. At least I don't think I do.

[@mwloos1]

I went to a free network chiropractic session which usually cost a lot of money. I found the same feeling of free-ness when practicing AT on my own.
