Alex Svoboda

Alex Svoboda 博士是一位意识舞蹈教师、引导师，也是“freedomDANCE”的创始人。“freedomDANCE”是一所舞蹈冥想和意识运动学校及方法，成立于 2009 年。他以开发一种易于理解且注重深度的基于运动的冥想方法而闻名，该方法融合了身体感知、情绪觉察和个人探索。

Alex Svoboda 居住在伦敦，并通过课程、研讨会、静修营和教师培训项目在国际上进行教学。

背景

Alex Svoboda 曾在俄罗斯、美国和英国生活和工作。他曾在多所大学和学院学习，并获得了博士学位。在全身心投入意识运动研究之前，他曾在包括全球管理咨询公司麦肯锡公司在内的多家大型国际组织担任分析师和经理。

除了在企业界的职业生涯之外，斯沃博达还担任过“大学讲师”和“企业培训协调员”，这些经历后来影响了他有意识舞蹈中结构化但又注重体验的教学风格。

舞蹈与动作训练

Alex Svoboda曾直接师从多位现代意识舞蹈的先驱，其中包括：

• Anna Halprin

• Gabrielle Roth（5Rhythms创始人）

他还曾师从其他在意识舞蹈和动作领域颇有建树的导师。他的作品深受身体练习、动作即兴创作、冥想和体验式学习的影响。

Svoboda 也被列为“Open Floor”教师，并与更广泛的国际意识运动社区有联系。

freedomDANCE

Alex Svoboda 是“freedomDANCE”的创始人兼主要开发者，这是一种以重复结构“freedomDANCE循环”为基础的舞蹈冥想方法：

• 开启

• 转化

• 自由

该方法强调自发性、摒弃编排，并将动作视为超越习惯性思维、直达觉知的直接途径。freedomDANCE旨在让没有任何舞蹈或冥想经验的人也能轻松上手，同时支持深入的个人和情感探索。

Through the freedomDANCE School, Svoboda trains teachers and supports an international network of practitioners. As of the mid-2020s, the school includes approximately 25 core teachers and trainees and offers programmes in multiple countries as well as online.

Teaching philosophy

Svoboda frequently describes freedomDANCE as an opportunity to experience different dimensions of freedom, including physical, psychological, and relational freedom. In his own words, each class offers:

“Freedom for the body to take over.

Freedom for the mind to notice and accept what is happening inside ourselves and around us.

Freedom to open to something bigger, something that transcends everyday ideas and calculations.

Freedom to be yourself and share yourself with others.”

His teaching style is characterised by guided improvisation, carefully structured movement journeys, use of music and soundscapes, and an emphasis on presence rather than performance.

Teacher training and professional affiliations

Alex Svoboda has led freedomDANCE teacher training programmes since 2014. These programmes are fully accredited by the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association (ICMTA). He is an individual member of ICMTA, and freedomDANCE teachers and trainees adhere to the ICMTA Code of Ethics.

Reception

Participants frequently describe Svoboda’s teaching as grounded, present, and transformative. Publicly shared feedback highlights his clarity of guidance, musicality, emotional sensitivity, and ability to support both individual and collective processes.

Selected participant statements include:

• “You have real, soft, palpable presence… When you speak, I listen. It’s always worth it.”
• “I felt stretched in a really beautiful way — dancing outside my usual patterns.”
• “Your workshop was a marathon of the heart and soul.”
• “I left feeling more fully human.”
