Alexander Technique

Suffering from chronic pain? Concerned about your posture? Holding tension in your body? Interested in improving your physical performance? Wishing you could prevent or eliminate your own discomfort?

What is the Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is a proven method of self-care. Private lessons will increase your awareness of the postural habits you have developed and how these habits influence the way you hold tension in your body. Unnecessary muscular tension can cause chronic pain, stress and fatigue.

A teacher of the Alexander Technique will help you learn to consciously replace poor habits with an improved use of the body focusing on expansion instead of contraction. Since the Technique is an educational method rather than a treatment, you leave each lesson with practical skills to alleviate pain, prevent injury and enhance performance.
