Nikki Ben-Natan, Musician
When I discovered last year that I suffer from 'Carpel Tunnel', I thought this is the end of my career as both a sound engineer and musician. The Alexander Technique not only enabled me to continue doing the things I love, it has also contributed tremendously to a positive change I my life, both physically and mentally: I cut down my smoking drastically, my Arthritis and muscle pain has decreased dramatically and I am generally more relaxed and happy. I am able to recognize and change destructive patterns in my life, slowly but surely. I can definitely recommend the technique to everyone who would like to improve their use of their body, and for all who suffer from joint and muscle problems.5 years later, Nikki writes to me:I thought about you with a lot of gratitude during my retreat, as some of the concepts of Vipassana certainly rang a bell with my knowledge of the Alexander Technique. So thank you for introducing me to all those wonderful concepts I still carry with me. Needless to say, I still practice those ideas in countless activities throughout my day, from driving to cooking to playing music. I wouldn't be anything near where I am today if it wasn't for the lessons I took from you 6 years ago!
