Lauren Hill: A Few of My Favorite Things
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.
