Why Do You Need Alexander's Discovery?

You got on fine without smartphones in the past, didn't you?

And yet – to lose your smartphone now - would cause a lot of grief.

I say this because Alexander's Discovery is the same category. 

What category is that?

Alexander's Discovery is something you did not know you needed until you got it – and once you got it, you wonder how you ever managed without it?

Just like a smartphone.

Well, we all know the benefits a smartphone brings – but it also brings a few troubles, and Alexander's Discovery is the same. The most significant trouble Alexander's Discovery will bring is that you can never go back to being ignorant again.

Because you know there is a better way to do what you are doing. You discover an approach that leads to you being freer, healthier, more satisfied and in control of your life. 

Yes, all of those things.

Once you experience this – it will haunt you forever. So be careful starting Alexander's Discovery – there is no turning back.

It's almost like a prison sentence. 

One of the clearest examples of how this works is in a back-bending exercise.

Shoko – a trainee on our Pro course - was doing down-dog followed by a sun-salute. However, every time she did it, she got a pain in her lower back. She could not understand why. Here's how we solved it…

For those with little time to watch, this is what happened:

We clarified her movement plan!

This means clarifying her thinking about what she is doing. The first part of clarifying any movement plan is to include head/spinal coordination in the plan – this is Alexander's simple Discovery.

Shoko had forgotten about the head/spine relationship and was focusing on other parts of her movement first. As you can see in the video – once her head/spine was included in her movement plan, the pain in her lower back vanished.

Just vanished. Like it never even existed. 

This happens all the time when you study at BodyChance. 

Exploring Alexander's Discovery involves discoveries about your bones, muscles, joints and range of movement. 

Functional anatomy + Alexander's Discovery = "BodyThinking".

Right here is where I would put the link for you to join the Pilates BodyThinking course. But of course, there is no course, because I ain't no Pilates teacher.

Instead, I will give you the link to the course that shows you how to write emails like this to gather up folks and build your practice. It's a course that I have been running in different forms since 2012, and a lot of careers have been launched because of it.

This year, I have decided to introduce it again after a two-year absence. No specials I'm sorry, what's special is I am finding the time to teach it again.
