Join Alexander Technique teacher David Moore for a practical workshop exploring how walking patterns, posture, and movement habits influence foot health and whole-body wellbeing. Through guided observation, practical anatomy, and movement education, participants will learn strategies to improve alignment, reduce unnecessary strain, and move with greater ease and efficiency.
Suitable for anyone experiencing foot discomfort, postural concerns, mobility challenges, or simply wanting to better understand how their body moves.
Event Description
Walking is one of the most important movements we perform every day, yet many of us rarely consider how our walking habits affect our feet, joints, posture, and overall wellbeing.
In this practical and informative workshop, we will explore the relationship between foot health, walking patterns, and whole-body coordination. Using principles from the Alexander Technique, participants will gain insight into how posture and movement habits influence the way forces are distributed throughout the body.
Common foot concerns such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat arches, over-pronation, and uneven gait patterns will be examined within the context of overall body alignment. Rather than focusing solely on isolated foot exercises, this workshop explores how improving postural organisation and movement patterns may help support long-term comfort and function.
Through guided exercises, demonstrations, and practical exploration, participants will learn to recognise movement habits that may contribute to unnecessary strain and discover more efficient ways of walking and moving.
