Enabling Greater Understanding of the Alexander Technique

In Episode 47 we release a podcast style discussion with members of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT) Research Group as they explore the use of self-report outcome measures in AT research. Widely used in research and healthcare, these tools allow individuals to share personal insights on their experiences and health. Join us for an insightful listen into how these measures can deepen our understanding of the Alexander Technique.

This month, Lesley Glover interviews Ruth Rootberg, author of Living the Alexander Technique, discussing her insights from senior teachers on aging with poise. Rootberg shares her approach to the project and wisdom garnered on practicing the Alexander Technique through later stages of life, with reflections on ongoing self-work and growth.

This month we explore the spiritual dimension of the Alexander Technique (AT) through an insightful interview with Dr. Jennifer Fox Eades, an AT teacher, ordained priest, and third-order Franciscan. In the discussion, Jennifer talks about elements of Franciscan thinking and practice and how these relate to her AT practice as explored in her new book, Embodying Prayer: Exploring Franciscan Spirituality with the Alexander Technique.
