Body Dharma: Alexander Technique used in Buddhist Practice with Jeremy Chance

Jeremy Chance

About the Teaching

In his Body Dharma class, Jeremy explores how well you are cooperating with your human design. His work is based on the discoveries of F. M. Alexander – one of the 200 people who made Australia great – and Jeremy’s experience as a Buddhist.

Much suffering in the physical domain – sore backs, headaches, stiff necks & stress – arise from confused concepts about how we are designed to move. As with Buddhism, Alexander’s premise is that we already have perfection, but over time have developed distorted concepts that unknowingly cause us physical harm. Illuminating these confused ideas leads to harmony between body/mind and results in an easier practice as a Buddhist.

It is fun to learn how much we don’t know we don’t know – this work introduces you into a new kind of ontological study.
