Project Alignment

I really didn't want to have to look into the issue of alignment.  I feel like it could be a "black hole" of sorts, where you end up spending time and money but not getting the solution in return.  I know Jim over at Recover Your Stride has looked a lot into this issue, and I think he's still trying to sort it all out.

My first attempt at improving my alignment was last week, when I had an Alexander Technique lesson.  I have to say, it didn't seem to do anything.  I felt no different after the lesson or in the following days.

My next attempt was to look into  Feldenkrais.  I went to an "Awareness Through Movement" class on Monday night.  At least this had an impact.  Even though the class consisted of gentle moves, I felt tired by the end.  I was told that this was because my body was "reorganizing" or finding better alignment.  My legs and hips felt noticeably looser the next day.  Whether this is a transitory change or a long-term change, I don't know.

My next attempt will be to see a Feldenkrais teacher for a one-on-one session.
