About

The HIPTOHIP was created by me, Ralf Hiemisch, Alexander Technique teacher and photographer in Berlin. For inspiration, exchange and orders I look forward to a message from you.

It was born out of my passion for Alexander Technique, Qi Gong and Gestalt Therapy. I have observed that in a therapeutic context, the HIPTOHIP can help with trust, being held and contact. From the perspective of bodywork, it assists with alignment from body centre to body centre, and from there exploring movement and contact. When employed effectively, it relaxes the spine and helps people to expand, with movement becoming lighter and softer.

The HIPTOHIP has also changed my personal life very much for the positive and I feel much more comfortable in my body since experimenting with it. “I have time“ and “contact comes before action“ are probably the most important insights I have had while in a HIPTOHIP alone or with other people.
