Breaking Body Myths: "Stretching the ITB"
Further application of the Alexander Technique has brought on a few new revelations this week as I have carried principles over to walking.
The history behind this change goes back to my freshman year of high school, when I hit my first real challenge to my physical fitness – one which to date I have not really been able to recover from.

Breaking Body Myths: "Stand up straight"
So after a full week of applying th principles of using my spine to hold and head, relax my back and allow the weight of my upper body to rest in the pelvis when I sit… I wondered, while sitting in church – how does a person apply this to standing?
So I stood – being in Orthodox services there are plenty of opportunities to stand for long periods of time.

Breaking Body Myths: "Sit up straight"
First of all, I want to state that I am very much a novice when it comes to having an experience of the Alexander Technique. For those who have never heard of this ‘method’ of thinking about the operation of the body, there are several on-line resources that cover this material in detail.
The simple description is that the Alexander Technique provides a framework for giving your body the atention it needs throughout the day to operate properly. This is, of course, the ideal scenario for anyone who takes the creation story seriously – an excellent place to begin living up to your created purpose is using your body according to its physiological design.
