This page is a variation of a drawing I did to illustrate my blog 101 life lessons from my dog. I hope to turn that blog into a a wee book at some point as it makes me smile. (link here)
So to the colouring book – how does one introduce the concept of a free neck, prone, supine, whispered ah and other Alexander Technique goodies to kids in a fun way?
Animals are such wonderful teachers … so it’s doggies or dog ease!
These drawings are relatively simple but I am liking the simplicity.
I think I could add more words such as poise, awareness, rest, letting go etc but I will leave that to whoever is working with the book …
Hopefully this page says enough?
I am sure that as an older child and teenager, if I had been encouraged to roll about and rest on the floor as I had as a very young child, I would have avoided the pain I found myself in by the time I hit my early 20’s!
It was the Alexander Technique that was my life saver!
So I guess this colouring book is a bit of a mission …
Hope I am rising to the challenge?
Ok! Back to the drawing board!
