A Body That Adapts to Major Changes🍃

I am naturally the type of person who is not good with change...
(Though I suppose everyone struggles with it to some extent)

I am the type who enjoys finding small, subtle changes within the same routine every day. So, the major changes brought about by the pandemic were terrifying...!

I knew intellectually that the daily life right in front of me was not something to be taken for granted. However, due to COVID, it was a period where I realized through lived experience that there is truly nothing that can be taken for granted, and that nothing was a given at all!

What helped me through those major changes was the [Alexander Technique] (how to use oneself) that I have been practicing.

Amidst the rapidly changing daily life, I could repeatedly stop myself from being tossed about and return to myself. I knew that unnecessary anxiety and fear would not be of any help.

I had been in the middle of preparing to create a space where people could relax, like a cafe or coffee shop! However, when I went through this experience, I intuitively felt that in this era of major change, the [Alexander Technique] would become even more necessary for people💡

From there, my life choices changed significantly. Even though I am not good with change. Instead of a space like a cafe or coffee shop, I decided to become an Alexander Technique teacher and create a "space where one can return to oneself" (a lesson room). The root of my desire remains the same as when I was trying to create a cafe or coffee shop.

Now, I have become able to enjoy change. This change itself was a surprising and major change for me!

The reason I have become able to enjoy it is that, through experience, I have learned how to return to my home (myself) at any time.

The [Alexander Technique] (how to use oneself) that I offer
is a lesson where you [experience and learn]♪

I will support you in expressing your [true self]🌱
Won't you learn with me?🌿
