Expectations exceeded!!!!
As a practicing yoga instructor, I went into work with Alex as an opportunity to reconnect with my body; bringing curiosity and awareness to each session. With his expert guidance I uncovered so much more.
At the start of our work together, I was focused on the changes in my muscular body, working out areas of chronic pain. Through Alex's thoughtful direction I reconnected my awareness to the experiences within my body; which I had underestimated how disconnected I had become. Both in sensation and in movement, which then allowed me to identify dysfunctional patterns in my body.
As we continued our journey, Alex directed me to shift focus to anticipatory movement and the connection between intention of movement and visual gaze. His expertise in the movement field is evident in his ability to communicate these concepts, many taking multiple attempts before I connected the instruction to the movement he called for. But that is where the magic happens and he lets the process take its time!
Alex created a safe space for me to drop the insecurities that arose as I needed to relearn movement patterns. He provided the time and reassuring instruction to breakdown the walls of fear my body had created to protect itself.
In the end of this experience, I feel an embodied sense of deep connection to my body. I have broken old patterns of holding and movement that no longer serve my body. I feel symmetry and balance in movement and at rest in my body. This has all translated to providing a richer experience for my own bodywork clients.
I can't thank him enough for this experience and you will certainly not regret your own experience. Here's to the freedom I have rediscovered in my body and mind!!
