Abdominals
The abdominal muscles are located between the ribs and the pelvis on the front of the body.  The abdominal muscles support the trunk, allow movement and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal pressure.

What happens to our abdominal muscles when working with the Alexander method?

The abdomen is the front part of the torso and therefore, in terms of directions, it should find itself like the rest of the torso in a backward and upward direction, together with the spine, with the chest, and with the back muscles. In practice and in everyday life, there is often a problem with a weak or too loose lower stomach among the older population, despite performing abdominal exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups and squats.

Many Alexander teachers want not only to help their students give up abdominal exercises on the one hand, but also provide a satisfactory answer to the issue of a weak stomach. They find themselves not always able to solve the problem for their students and sometimes not even for themselves.

In the workshop, I would like to give the precisions that are related with the front side of the torso, and not only with the back.

Questions to be discussed:
How is this related to an emotional state? How is this related to breathing? How is this related to posture? How is this related to thought? How can this also relate to nutrition? There are several topics here that I would like to address in the workshop to bring the back together with the abdomen for a more beautiful relationship. For me, the stomach and the back work in relation to each other. I will expand on this in the workshop.
