August 2008 Gerda Alexander February 15, 1908 - February 21, 1994 was a Danish teacher who devised a method of self-development called Eutony. She was born in Wuppertal, Germany, but moved to Denmark in 1929. Like Moshe Feldenkrais, she emphasized intelligence, sensitivity, and awareness rather than simple physical exercise. Contents 1 Eutony 2 Literature 3 References 4 External links 5 See also Eutony Alexander's Eutony claims to develop the ability to be aware and able to regulate muscular tone. The term was coined to express the idea of a harmoniously balanced tonicity in constant adaptation to the state or activity of the moment. Alexander as a young woman contracted rheumatic fever and endocarditis, suffering several crisis. This forced her precociously to create movement forms that did not complicate their affections. Long periods of rest stimulated her to investigate on herself looking for a more economic and more spontaneous movement form, starting from the learning of the tonic regulation to achieve further well-being. She postulated that it is necessary to learn a little more every day about what we are that body in which we can lean on. By means of the observation and reflection on their students, their own ailments and difficulties in mobility, and the investigation on the neuro-psychological basements of the human being's movements, she molded her own method. An Eutony session begins with a phase of inventory in which the student, through a series of control positions becomes aware of his/her initial state of muscular tone. Then by a means of physical activities guided by the eutonist, which may include the use of objects balls, sticks, pillows or the contact between the eutonist and the student, the latter gains awareness of different principles see below. At the end of the class or session the student may be asked to repeat the control positions initially used to check the differences in both his/her states and awareness of them. Eutony has a number of principles or methodological tools to be used in the classes or sessions that facilitate the student to recover the fluctuation of tone. Such principles are: awareness of the skin awareness of the internal body space awareness of the bones conscious contact experience of transport conscious straightening reflex repousser to reject-to push active and passive movements micro-movements movements of decompression of the articulations control positions sequences of movements that allow to evaluate the state of muscular flexibility eutonic movement vibrations voice and bones Literature Alexander, Gerda 1981.
