This page is a variation of a drawing I did to illustrate my blog 101 life lessons from my dog<\/a>. I hope to turn that blog into a a wee book at some point as it makes me smile. (link here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

Animals are such wonderful teachers … so it’s doggies or dog ease!<\/p>\n

These drawings are relatively simple but I am liking the simplicity.<\/p>\n

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 …<\/p>\n

Hopefully this page says enough?<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

It was the Alexander Technique that was my life saver!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So I guess this colouring book is a bit of a mission …<\/p>\n

Hope I am rising to the challenge?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ok! Back to the drawing board!<\/p>\n
