Alexander Technique Overview

The Alexander Technique is a 100-year-old method for helping you learn how to use your body properly. I use gentle hands-on guidance and verbal instruction to help you prevent movement patterns that wear you down by the end of the day or cause pain. There are no exercises, machines or special clothing. Instead, you apply the principles to your normal activities. It takes from 5-30 lessons to learn the Alexander Technique and all lessons are either private or shared and are taken once or twice per week.

The theory behind the Alexander Technique is that people habitually and unnecessarily shorten and narrow their bodies. This habit degrades posture and makes movement more difficult. It also reduces the internal capacity of the torso, causing crowding for internal organs, and making breathing more difficult. As an Alexander teacher, I show you how to free yourself of these habits to gain a renewed feeling of ease and lightness so that you can look and feel better for the rest of your life.
