Subject: MEETING TUESDAY 8/11, 7:30 PM

Our next meeting of BVU will be
Tuesday, August 11, 7:30 p.m., MIT 1-242.

Our presenter will be Jill Geiger, a certified teacher of the
Alexander Technique.
This AT is a practical educational method, taught worldwide for
over 100 years, which teaches how to regain the good
neuromuscular "use" of
ourselves with which we started out in life.
Most people have acquired many
habits of tension or "misuse" over the years
which interfere with our innate
good use.  The AT teaches how to recognize & unlearn
these habits making it
possible to perform all of the activities of living
(& working) with maximum
ease, balance & poise and minimal tension & pain.
Unlearning habits of
tension typically addresses the underlying causes
of chronic pain and often
enables longterm relief of RSI symptoms.

Jill will give a brief overview and hands-on demonstrations of the
principles of the Alexander Technique, with a special focus on its
implications for voice use.

To get to the meeting: Go to the main door of MIT, 77 Mass Ave.
Inside, take the first corridor on the right.
When you pass the ship models, go
upstairs and continue (you'll be walking almost to
the corner of Mass Ave.
and Memorial Drive).
Room 242 will be on your left,
before you reach the elevators.
