Walking with Freedom and Ease: An Alexander Clinic
with Amy Ward Brimmer
Delaware Canal – Black Rock RoadYardley, PA 19067
Join an exploration of what we do when we walk. Whether for exercise or just to get around, for most of us walking is a daily activity. Yet moving around on two legs is a balancing act, and lack of awareness often causes problems. Folks are not walking with balance and ease, and many people have poor coordination. We end up with foot problems, lower back pains, messed up knees, and a variety of other preventable issues. What could be a highly enjoyable activity — and our major evolutionary advantage — becomes a painful drudgery.
It doesn’t have to be like that! You can learn how to:
- walk with balance and ease
- eliminate strain and prevent injury
- solve foot, knee, and lower back problems
Cost: $25

Alexander Group Class
Weekly Open Group Class with Amy Ward Brimmer
Thursdays, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Pause. Sense. Act. Repeat.
This midday group class explores F.M. Alexander’s way of moving with more ease, alignment, balance, and freedom. We begin to recognize our unconscious habits, bringing more presence to our actions, and make simple changes that heal and restore our body-minds.
Participants may bring their personal movement challenges and body issues to the group, and together we examine how the AT approach can help. Some areas we might explore include:
- How to sit in balance without strain
- Working at a desk/computer
- How to wear a mask and social distance with ease
- Bending/squatting/lunging/kneeling for everyday tasks
- Reaching/holding/lifting/carrying for everyday tasks
- Breathing, speaking, listening, and silence
Drop in once or show up every week.
Freely offered on a donation basis, please pay what you can. Suggested donation is $15 but all amounts are welcome.
