Alexander Technique and visual arts

For all its downsides, lockdown has resulted in some unexpected flourishing. One amazing example has been the inspiring visual art created over the last year by my friend and colleague Judith Kleinman.

Through an amazing variety of images, Judith has managed to capture some of the essence of the Alexander Technique – which is no mean feat! These pictures suggest all sorts of concepts and emotions to me: flow, ease, balance, poise, peace, connection, hope, simplicity… the list goes on.

And since Alexander Technique lessons are still online, these images have proved wonderful teaching aids to stimulate conversation around the principles of our work.

Below is a small selection of Judith’s images. You can find her complete collection at findingquietstrength on Instagram.
