The Alexander Technique is a practical method for improving poise, vitality, and coordination. It addresses habits of movement that interfere with the natural design of the body, affecting one's ability to move with ease and freedom.

The Alexander Technique teacher provides hands-on guidance as the student learns a thoughtful process that allows for release of habitual tension and strain. As the body returns to a more balanced and integrated state, students often experience relief from discomfort, clarity of mind, and greater ease in breath and movement.

The Alexander Technique benefits people of all ages and walks of life.  

For People Who Have Back and Neck Pain:

We all live in a fast-paced world where multi-tasking is taken for granted and much of our day is taken up with computers, phones, and tablets. Many of us sit for prolonged periods of time, and often notice little about how we reach, sit, stand, or walk until we are in pain. Many back and neck pain sufferers struggle to find good posture, the perfect chair, or the best relaxation technique to solve the discomfort.

With the Alexander Technique, one can learn to sense and to release excess tension and harmful postural habits, and to return to natural and comfortable balance and movement.  Studies on the Alexander Technique on neck or back pain, (see Resources page) reveal that it is a proven self-care method for prolonged relief from this discomfort. Unlike various forms of body manipulation or exercise practices, students of the Technique learn to make mindful changes in how they go about their daily activities.

For Performers:

Performers have many movement challenges: long hours of practice and rehearsals; excessive repetitive movements that can lead to injury; demands for sustained, full breath support; highly emotional vocalization; and the stress of producing their best work in repeated performances.

Alexander Technique is taught in conservatories and professional performance schools nationally and internationally. It is a proven self-care method that teaches performers to discover and release harmful postural habits in order to move more efficiently, to find the ease of balance and natural breath support, and to allow them to be expressive while protecting their bodies from strain and injury.
