Midori Shinkai

Portrait Midori Shinkai Midori Shinkai, director of The Alexander Alliance Japan/Kyo­to, has been studying Alex­ander's work for 35 years. Having trained and translated for dozens of internationally renowned teachers, her under­standing is exceptionally comp­rehensive. Her doctoral re­search in Anthropology ex­plored how Korean, Chinese, and Japanese women sit, stand, walk, and move. Midori's teaching is informed by her years of study of Sen-Tai, a traditional Japanese approach to health.

"When Midori works with a person, everything else stops. Her attention is undivided. She will stay with a person until they open to themselves and to the world. I have watched her take people out of utter darkness. Midori is humble, quiet, un-self centered. She is a little person with a huge heart."
