Move better, breathe better, live better: discover the Alexander Technique - Rixensart

Translated by GoogleSee original

Move better, breathe better, live better: discover the Alexander Technique

From 70 € /h

I help my students overcome chronic pain, reduce stress, and improve their posture and overall well-being using the Alexander Technique.

During an Alexander class, we'll focus on your overall coordination in movements like sitting and getting up from a chair, walking, and carrying objects. You'll also be offered work lying down on a table. This allows you to avoid having to manage your balance and facilitates the process of letting go.

The Alexander Technique can help you:
- The fluidity of your movements
- Improving your posture
- Reduction of back pain
- Relief from joint pain
- Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)
- Reduction of the stress response
- Prevention and recovery from burnout

The Alexander Technique was developed in the early 20th century by Frederick Matthias Alexander, an Australian actor who suffered from repeated hoarseness. Doctors could not find a clear medical diagnosis, so he decided to find out for himself where his problems stemmed from. He realized he had bad habits in his recitation by carefully observing himself in mirrors. After years of observation, he developed a technique to regain control over his coordination habits. He was able to change what he called his self-use. This discovery shed light on the influence of self-use on the proper functioning of the body and even on our structure.

Extra information

I will ask you to remove your shoes. Wearing loose-fitting clothing that allows for movement is a plus but not absolutely necessary. You will always remain fully clothed when working in an Alexander McQueen.

Martin Michiels - Cours de guitare et Technique F.M. Alexander, Rue de Froidmont, Rixensart, Belgique

About Me

My name is Martin, I'm 41 years old, and I've always shared my passion for music and the guitar. I love exploring and sharing a variety of worlds: jazz, bossa nova, soul, blues, pop, reggae, and rock. Guitar, bass, sound, and the world of home studios particularly inspire me, and I'm always looking to connect technique with musical expression.

What motivates me in teaching is seeing each student develop their ear, their sense of rhythm, and their enjoyment of playing. I enjoy working on harmony, improvisation, and creativity, without forgetting the importance of humor and lightness in learning.

As the father of two boys, aged 8 and 10, I know how to adapt to different profiles and offer personalized support. I also enjoy the shared moments of jam sessions, where music becomes a common language.

I'm not an expert in metal or highly distorted styles, but I can guide you through many other repertoires. My goal is to help you progress while having fun, whether you're a beginner or more advanced.

Education

First trained in classical guitar at the Musicole in Uccle (Cathy Rennuy and Stéphane Wertz), I continued music theory at the Boitsfort academy.

As a teenager, I learned other styles, always with Stéphane Wertz and then Paul Elias.

After my secondary studies, I entered the Jazz Studio in Antwerp where I stayed for two and a half years. This was followed by a year and a half of studies at the jazz conservatory in Ghent.

Experience / Qualifications

Since 2014, I have also been a certified Alexander Technique teacher. This 3-year, 15-hour-per-week practical training program is a valuable aid in learning how to release unnecessary tension and indirectly achieve better posture and more fluid movements, first in your daily life and then in your guitar playing.

I can offer you complementary lessons alongside the guitar lessons or divide the guitar lesson to introduce 15 to 20 minutes of Alexander Technique.

Guitar lessons combined with F.M. Alexander Technique. Ear training and music theory applied to the instrument.

54 € /h

You want to:
- Feel comfortable accompanying and improvising in the different styles you enjoy.
- Build a repertoire of folk, blues pop, classical, bossa or jazz standards.
- Use music theory to develop your ear and creativity so you can play and communicate more easily with your musician friends.
- Develop your technique and optimal posture with the help of the F.M. Alexander Technique.

In practice:
Lessons take place in my home studio in Rixensart. I can also give lessons online, but I prefer face-to-face lessons so that I can easily guide the student and clearly hear (and see) all the nuances of what is being played. I mainly use the interactive music notation platform soundslice.com to share my scores. The scores, tablature and guitar methods are synchronised with the original tracks or learning videos, either tailor-made or from great masters and available on YouTube. It is possible to loop sections, slow down passages as desired, gradually speed up, keep a practice calendar to see when you have worked and motivate yourself to move forward. It really is a learning tool that I wish I had had when I was younger. ;-)

I also encourage everyone to get a small keyboard so they can practice harmony in a practical way on the piano, which allows them to break out of their guitar habits and become better musicians with a multidisciplinary understanding of music.

The success of students and students in science, as well as the development of their potential, is important to me. Subjects considered difficult, such as mathematics and physics, are accessible to all with determination and perseverance. I attach great importance to sharing my knowledge in these areas with others, especially high school students. Placing the student at the center of my concerns, the support I offer is in harmony with the teachers.

With 10 years of experience as an engineer, I worked in risk studies of industrial systems within large automotive and railway groups. My skills also extend to life coaching, and I am a certified master practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I am bilingual in French and English.

With 5 years of experience as a math and physics teacher, I also offer distance learning courses via the Google Meet application, given the current context. Do not hesitate to contact me for more details.

➤Choose the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms. An awareness necessary for change will then make it possible to be part of a new dynamic of life, to calm down and to use all its potential in the emotional/family/professional domains.

➤ Self-exploration in order to free oneself from emotion through speech and action / application, involves questioning oneself, analyzing, taking distance, and understanding the issues / points causing suffering or distress, before finally freeing oneself from them. This is intended to promote significant changes in cognitive, emotional or behavioral functioning.

➤This methodological approach, halfway between first practical behavioral coaching in an 'Anglo-Saxon' style and then psychoanalysis accompanied by a dedicated specialized psychoanalyst psycho-practitioner, is based precisely on precise questioning techniques, offering help in finding solutions, mastering new ways of envisaging/dealing with/perceiving difficulties, then implementing actions to be carried out. Combining the advantages of the two approaches and choosing the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms, will therefore induce the awareness necessary for this decided change, towards a new dynamic.

➤Objective? Understand the mechanisms of induced thought & emotion, linked to given everyday situations and which involve blockages. Then act concretely thanks to pragmatic techniques / methodological approaches from coaching, adapted to your situation to regain power over your life.

➤To lead this change & realize these aspirations, a cohort of concrete tools are at our disposal, but which involve deepening self-exploration. To question yourself, analyze, take some distance & understand the issues / problematic points, before finally freeing yourself from them through action.

➤Examples of themes/problems regularly dealt with & which are the subject of dedicated specialized support, adapted to your plan:
•Self-confidence, self-esteem/assertion, shyness, decision-making, personal development
•Management of emotions & suffering expressed in the form of anxieties, depressive disorders, embarrassments, addictions, relationship difficulties, phobia, stress, anger, anxiety, negative thoughts, panic, depression but also modification of behaviors harmful to good -being (post-traumatic stress, injuries, dependencies, addictions, etc.)
• Disorders of school/professional relations (tensions, (re)orientation, pressures & conflicts)
Program
and personal (family, romantic, friendly, emotional) & social (loneliness, communication difficulties generating pain/frustration)
• Problem of concentration, procrastination, organization, professional efficiency, time management
•Management of a past trauma of which you are the victim
(...)

➤At the start, it is always a question of knowing the triggers that led you to get support and knowing what you hope to accomplish with this follow-up.

➤With specific techniques that have proven themselves & adapted to your case and through a methodological approach and pragmatic tools, the purpose involves on the one hand an exploration of oneself through psychoanalytic tools and on the other hand concrete actions, as is the essence of coaching which bears fruit from the first sessions, by making you autonomous.

➤Influenced by cognitive & behavioral therapies, by Anglo-Saxon coaching instruments & the European methodology of applied psychoanalysis, the approach therefore aims to seek links between current difficulties and past experiences, including repressed and unresolved conflicts and to confront difficulties that may be partially related to inappropriate thoughts or behaviors learned/adopted often in spite of oneself.

➤And if cookie-cutter advice is precisely not offered, that you will never be judged or directed but heard and guided, in a process of permanent/interactive co-construction...it is precisely because it is important beforehand to analyze together, to become aware, to study jointly, to deepen, to decode your blockages & your initial problem to clarify your aspirations.

➤ So, how does a session take place? After an initial inventory, 'diagnostic'/exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, your problem, your blockages, your needs and objectives identified, it is a question of analyzing them together then changing perspective/approach, considering 'the impasse' differently, think differently about the difficulties, gradually get out of your comfort zone thanks to a series of pragmatic suggestions/reflections/actions to be applied, according to a line of work defined together, anchored in a relationship of benevolent trust.

➤ So, to develop coherent solutions in a living, authentic and assertive life, inspired by our intuition and elements of positive psychology, this individual support helps to:
- create a clear picture of your desired future and your individual journey
- activate your unique resources and strengths
- transform inner insecurity into confidence in order to focus your inner power
- broaden your scope
- use your gifts to co-create the transition to a vital and vital way of life in harmony with nature.

Concretely, a SESSION = REFLECTION + SOLUTIONS, with a readjusted strategy if necessary.

Many individuals tend to associate yoga solely with its physical aspects, involving stretches and poses aimed at enhancing flexibility and posture. However, yoga encompasses more than just the physical. It possesses a profound influence on one's life by fostering transformative shifts in the mind through three distinctive pathways:
* Spiritual Awakening
* Mental Focus and Clarity
* Self-Discipline and Control

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

I am convinced that students often need a good work methodology.
Often their failures are said only to a lack of self-confidence, methodology and a lack of accompaniment.

Parents, aware of household needs, must spend many hours at work trying to put money on the table.
And therefore do not find enough time to take care of the intrinsic needs of children.

So I'm here for that, because I'm currently in university studies. I have had several experiences that allow me to justify my good faith and my skills.
Do not hesitate to contact me. Hope to meet you. Young and old alike

This training provides an introduction to the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding one's own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, whether in the professional, private or entrepreneurial context (...). For example, as a key to management, it allows you to:

• Measure the impact of emotions in team management
• Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it
• To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators
• Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor
• To be able to understand, recognize and name his own emotions as well as those of his collaborators
• Discover the emotional process
• Manage the team (the impact of emotions on communication and decision-making), the emotional quotient and the
leadership styles
• Motivate and mobilize its employees over the long term, and in particular in the context of interviews "to
strong emotional potential "(reframing, motivation, problem solving, tense sessions, conflicts etc.)

Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.

From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.

Controlled, the techniques allow:

• to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being.

• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee

• defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication)

• better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events)

• Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence

What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence
• Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others
• Greater determination and results-oriented mindset
• Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace

Graduated with a CUM LAUDE distinction and great Honours from a master's program in Global Archaeology at Leiden University, where I achieved an 8.6/10 for my thesis on "Human Brain Evolution." This research develops a theory combining archaeology, biology and neurology, and reveals how ancient populations' brain development are influenced by environmental factors and material objects.

My educational background includes a Pre-master program in Archaeology at Leiden University, graduated with an 8.2/10, and a Bachelor's degree in History of Art and Archaeology, graduated with Honours. These programs have equipped me with strong analytical, synthesizing, and research skills.
I am actively seeking a position in archaeology, heritage management, museums, or other cultural institutions that will allow me to consolidate and further develop my research and synthesis skills. Combining my rigorous academic training with diverse hands-on experiences, I bring a well-rounded skill set and a passion for uncovering, understanding and sharing the knowledge of the past.

Beyond academia, I excel in teamwork, adaptability, and multitasking, gained through leading group projects and managing extracurricular activities. Fluent in French and English (C1), with a working knowledge of Spanish, I find joy in tutoring students in various subjects. Additionally, I possess organizational skills from managing Phorin, an artist's platform.
