In today’s video, I introduce Active Rest, a simple yet profound exercise that is often associated with the Alexander Technique. It allows you to release unnecessary tensions and develop body awareness. To introduce the concept of Active Rest, James applies an interesting metaphor, the Japanese technique of fixing pottery with gold (Kintsugi). Mindful attention can be used to “fix” your body, whether after a tiring day spent at your desk or before a physical activity. I highly recommend lying in “active rest” when doing breathwork.
