Is scraping your feet on the ground something people fear, since it might cause you to trip and fall? Or is it the next procedure for maintaining extension of your legs as you walk? Or is it both? I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits? In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.

This guy is going to make me look like a Greek God ⚡️. I've seen more improvements in a week of doing the appropriate IAT movements than what i have with mewing in 6 years.
What about the Todd Martin system? IYou answered me saying he shortens his torso while walking, but I dont think that is a particularity of the system, it just shows he doesn't have a completeness of knowledge of posture. But his system based on core patterns and movements is very interesting.
I’d have to look more deeply into it because I’m not super familiar. However, to me, the idea of leaving out what’s happening in the torso when analyzing walking makes no sense. A solution that doesn’t touch the torso is basically missing the most important element. I don’t know how you could make an accurate analysis without addressing what’s happening in the torso.
I recently got into boxing and intrigue by ur work on body mechanics, if possible for u to make a video on these mechanics playing in sports such as baseball or boxing im curious on how all this plays into part with forward power, given that in boxing they generate power from planting of the foot, either way just curious but I love what ur doin man 💪
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by planting the foot, but sometimes certain activities will demand shortening or other undesirable movements. That’s generally not too much of an issue, and really, many ideas can still be applied to a certain extent. Even if you do point your foot out, for instance, you can do it in way that you do not tip onto the outside of the foot. We can bend our legs without overly bending them and shooting the knee forward. Often I describe optimal settings for performing a gesture, e.g. having your feet back relative to your knees when you stand up from a chair, but that’s not always going to be possible. Yet you can still maintain the length of your torso, move your torso forward by rotating around your sit bones, etc. Just because a situation demands less than ideal conditions does not mean the general concepts can not still be applied. Also, if some activity does demand significant shortening, it’s all the more important that you are able to get back to lengthening afterwards. So having the directions, knowledge and skill to get out of that shortening afterward is key if you’re in a situation where you can’t apply any directions in the moment. Thanks for watching!
Why would you want to shorten the leg and torso? Would it not be better to lengthen the leg and torso? A lever works best as a tool because it does not bend, a lever that bends would be useless as a tool.
@@osenhordarazao3615 When you bend your knee to walk you are making yourself shorter and tilting your torso. When you go up onto the toes to walk you are lifting the torso and making yourself as a whole taller and keeping the forward and up momentum. your leg should be preparing to support the torso so keeping it extended will have it ready to support the torso. When you go up on the toes to walk you will realize bending the knee is unnecessary to do. The idea that you have to shorten the leg by bending the knee to walk is going off of the notion that you don't have space or the leg to swing.
@@flappy4690 nice to experiment with. Many people concerned with movement as Moshe Feldenkrais advised for narrow stride, while in the initial Alexander technique it seems the advice is to abduct the legs even while walking. Would it more efficient to have a narrow stride?

Bending the knee shortens the lever (the leg) which makes it easier to move (swing forward) ....more efficient
Quite interesting, I want to read his answer to this.

@@flappy4690 why would you want a lever while the leg is on the air. You just want the lever when it is the standing leg and not the swing leg
