Most people are disconnected from their feet. When they sit and stand, they get no help from their disengaged feet. Our feet can generate friction against the floor if we extend our lower legs, which can lead to significant changes in our legs and torso. In this video we will look at how to begin to extend the lower leg and get friction from the floor with our feet. Featuring diagrams made by Jeando Masoero. 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.

I don’t know how to pull the interior of the heel to the first metatarsal head when standing. Should there be a feeling I can sense? Should I be same to see it if I film it? Am I supposed to create friction only when sitting and not when standing?

All your videos are very insightful, and I’ve watched at least 35 Alexander technique videos on yt. Could you possibly do one on shoulders?
I will starting a series on the arms soon!
