Events

The JLSF is pleased to present a donation based workshop series. These Wednesday workshops are held online through Zoom and taught by a variety of Alexander Technique teachers from across the US and internationally. Participants donate any amount to attend. The series makes Alexander Technique available to a broad audience and generates funds for our Scholarship.

Your donations are tax-deductible. The Judith Leibowitz Scholarship Fund of AmSAT is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3).

Complimentary tickets are available to any teachers, trainees, or students who identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, or Persons of Color. The AT community is enhanced by an abundance of diversity and diminished without it. Please email us for your VIP code.

If you were unable to attend any of our virtual events, recordings are available through our Videos page.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Explore useful ways to explain some basic Alexander principles and anatomy, whether in individual lessons or group settings.

A good teacher is a good explainer. Thank goodness there is always more than one way to explain anything, because what helps clarify a concept for one student will undoubtedly fall flat for another. Join me as we explore some useful ways I have found over the years to help introduce and explain basic Alexander principles and simple anatomy, whether in individual lessons or group settings. I will share some explorations from my recently published book, What Your Body Wants You to Know: Exploring Body Awareness, Posture, and Movement with the Alexander Technique, as well as others. Come, explore, and add to your teaching toolbox!

Please have:

• Two chairs with backs and flat seats (the kind you would use for an Alexander lesson)

• Several paperback books that are all the same height

• Space to walk around in without feeling cramped

• Curiosity and willingness to explore

About Lauren

Lauren Hill was trained by Joan and Alexander Murray and has been teaching privately since 2003. She first discovered the Alexander Technique while searching for help managing chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain in her early 20s. Besides the physical relief she found, she was also drawn to its simple and practical nature, and has come to believe that a good teacher should be a “guide by your side” rather than “a sage on the stage.”

Lauren was on the faculty of Alexander Technique Retreats in North Carolina and Malibu, CA from 2017-2025. She also served on the faculty of MinnCAT, an Alexander teacher training course in the Twin Cities, from 2017-2023. She is the author of What Your Body Wants You to Know: Exploring Body Awareness, Posture, and Movement with the Alexander Technique.
