Do Less, Be More – Exploring Franklin Method and Alexander Technique – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 126 with Greg Dyke Greg Dyke is a software engineer, a former researcher in the learning sciences, and occasional partner dance teacher. He gave up downhill ski racing after leaving university and has not been running or gone to the gym since.

Encounters with great teachers, Franklin Method and Alexander Technique transformed him from an ungraceful, nerdy dancer into someone who wears barefoot shoes, geeks out about somatic modalities, and is about to start training in Alexander Technique. Ten years later, he's still nerdy, but more graceful - and people seem to really enjoy dancing with him.
