The Alexander Technique is a gentle educational approach to changing the way we use ourselves in every aspect of our lives. Through gentle touch and verbal direction an Alexander teacher can help you to change the way you move and coordinate yourself. This decreases excessive muscular tension and pain and improves the quality of your movements.

Find out what the Alexander technique can do for you. It is a set of skills that will develop your body awareness and improve your understanding of how your body works and how you can use it better.
The basic understanding is that the mind and body are inseparably bound up in our response to life. This response becomes patterned and less conscious as we go through life. Many of us are living in a tense, compressed pattern of muscular activity for the whole of our lives, and because it has developed so slowly over many years, we are not aware of it. Alexander Technique gives you the tools and practices to reset this pattern and decrease the tension and compression throughout your body. It feels good!
