Working with individuals with hypermobility as Alexander Technique Teachers requires special consideration and awareness. This workshop provides information for Alexander Technique Teachers to understand the full spectrum of hypermobility including Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (EDS). We will learn to work with those living with hypermobility and present concepts and a vocabulary that guides the student toward self agency. Most importantly the workshop will include an approach to teaching hands contact and guidance that is helpful to the student’s learning.
In this workshop you will learn:
- What hypermobility and EDS are.
- How to recognize hypermobility in your students.
- Helpful dialogue skills for working with hypermobile students.
- Nuanced approach to teaching hands-on work.
- Helpful resources for yourself and your students.
Please bring your questions and experiences of working with this population to the workshop.
