Swimming and physical change
One of my clients who is a singer and has just cut her first disc came in today and said she'd noticed how much her shoulders had widened out as a result of her Alexander Technique lessons. As well as singing, she's a very keen swimmer and had won every cup going when she was at school and even beaten the Belgian national champion.
She said that she noticed yesterday while swimming freestyle, that her arms were articulating in the shoulder joints further apart than before and that she was wider and flatter in the upper body. She is really enjoying her new width and better poise now she's getting rid of postural habits. It's interesting how we can all perceive ourselves changing in different ways. Our posture can change generally and also filter through into all our other activities. Posture affects everything we do.
Check out the Shaw Method of Swimming based on the principles of the Alexander Technique.
