Hi

Thanks so much for the info. I actually did alexander technique for several
uears for this problem as well as pool exercise therapy for abouit five. I came
up with my own program which I have taught to ithers when asked, and I thought
of actually making a video of it. Interesting to know it exists. I probably
won't come to the alexander technique one but maybe the pool video.....thanks
for the info

Meeting


Hi L. Kilby Black,  (I didn't quite know what to call you.)

It is one group but two separate meetings a month apart.  We meet the 3rd
Tuesday of every month.  The Alexander Technique meeting is this coming Tuesday,
June 17th.

No, the meeting about pool exercises is not at a pool.  It's at the same place
as the others:  Herrick Campus of Alta Bates Hospital, 2001 Dwight Way.  It is a
video showing pool exercises and the benefits of this type of exercise for
Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.  It is possible to do some of them on land, and
people are willing to do that during the meeting, if they wish, but it's
intended for doing and easier to do the exercises in a pool.  This pool program
is actually offered at various facilities around the Bay Area.  It is at the
YMCA in Downtown Berkeley, and I'm not positive where else.  You can always
check with the Arthritis Foundation for more information.  Their number is also
on the flyer. 

The June meeting about The Alexander Technique, is a hands-on demonstration,
where the speaker demonstrates some of the techniques on a volunteer subject in
front of the group, or has the group doing some kind of postural exercise, then,
utilizing their body-work/massage tables, they do some further coaching on
individuals who choose to benefit from that.  It's difficult to explain, but
suffice it to say, that the benefits of both the Alexander Technique this coming
Tuesday and the video on pool exercises, will become clear after you have heard
and seen what is presented.

Did you receive this announcement in your e-mail vs. the Yahoo Groups webpage? 
I'm curious to know if the flyer actually printed out correctly.  I can't tell. 
Does this answer your questions?  If not, let me know if you need more
information.

I hope you'll be able to come on Tuesday.  I look forward to meeting you.
