Glenna's writings are a fusion of human movement science and movement arts. Seeing the art in science and the science in the arts, Glenna writes as much to unify concepts from these distant disciplines as to ignite interest in the crossing tributaries of knowledge. Here you'll find the published results of Glenna's research in complementary medicine. You'll also be able to dowload a sample chapter of Glenna's e-book on the Helping Seniors with Alexander Technique. Last, you can get a glimpse of Glenna's writings in trade journals and web articles, or simply get a glimpse of the rubrics of somatic practices through short clips.
