 "Integrity takes long thoughtful walks. When she comes home, her pockets are full of stones and shells and feathers. She is the daughter of a weaver, and she has inherited her mother's sense of texture and color, though she prefers the potter's wheel to the loom. She makes ritual vessels for the local temple. It was through working with clay that Integrity grew to understand that the body is also a vessel, beautiful, sturdy, empty, and sacred.
Integrity loves the intersection where sculpture becomes dance. She has a supple spine and loves muscles. She knows sign language and has often worked as an interpreter. When she speaks with her hands, it is not in grand, dramatic gestures but in soft, subtle movements. Watching her hands dance, we hear stories that we have no words for." J.Ruth Gendler Check out this video description of the benefits of the Alexander Technique given by Dr. Tinbergen, Nobel Laureate. He devoted a significant portion of his Nobel lecture to talking about F. M. Alexander, the Alexander Technique, and the importance of Alexander's discoveries and the benefits he and his wife experienced from lessons. |
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"Flora is an expert on posture and movement. She quickly identified where my posture was creating tightness and imbalance in my movements. She is patient but committed to helping teach her students and is an absolute pleasure to work with." - Cheryl K."Flora's lasting gift was that she gave me an internal feel for what proper alignment feels like and it feels really good. [...] When I walk aligned there is a mindfulness that I feel that makes me more relaxed and balanced so even in chaotic crowds I feel a kind of peace. It is a wonderful feeling and she taught me how to cultivate that. Also Flora meets you where you are - whatever it is you want to work on - she can help you and structures the lessons accordingly." - Patsy W.

"Going to Flora felt like I was in the hands of a master. Whereas so many before had failed me (numerous chiropractors and body workers), I could tell that Flora would be able to help me. The chronic pain I've experienced intermittently since I was 13 is gone, something no chiropractor I saw could achieve. But the Alexander Technique is more than just relief from pain, it teaches the joy of being in and using the body." - Louis B.
"Flora is fantastic! She has amazing energy and focus and is helping me learn how to find spaciousness in my spine. I've been looking for this kind of help with my posture for years and am so happy to have found her. She has my highest recommendation!" - Valerie F.
