Episode Sixty-Eight. Jennifer Roig-Francoli: Healing with The Alexander Technique, Classical Roots & Somatic Artistry

Unconditioning: Discovering the Voice Within

Jennifer Roig-Francoli is an international prize-winner and certified Alexander Technique (AT) teacher, and combines her professional experience with a life-long love of meditation and perennial wisdom. This unique combination gives her uncommon expertise in pinpointing the source of artists’ mind-body issues.
A former faculty member teaching AT at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and member of Apollo’s Fire, the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, Jennifer’s approach has introduced countless performers to powerful techniques for balanced mind-body coordination, improved musicianship, and renewed energy.
Her students consistently report that Jennifer’s simple, profound direction helps them achieve unexpected “ah-ha” moments and sometimes “miraculous” transformations. Pain and tensions melt away, seemingly unrelated problems are recognized as interconnected and dissolve, fears and anxieties transform into calm confidence, and technical skills improve with surprising ease.
Jennifer has performed as a violin soloist in some of the most prestigious concert halls and with orchestras from around the world, including several appearances in Carnegie Hall. An international prize-winner, she has been the Concertmaster of multiple ensembles and has been featured in TIME Magazine.
Jennifer teaches AT in Cincinnati and online, and gives workshops around the world. She has founded two professional associations for Alexander Technique teachers in Ohio. In 2009, she designed and implemented a successful research study for surgeons using AT at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Medical Center which resulted in a prize-winning paper presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics and published by the Journal of Urology.
