What is the Alexander Technique?


The Alexander Technique is a learning process that teaches to recognize and change habitual patterns of movement, posture, and reaction that cause unnecessary tension.

It offers tools to address harmful psycho-physical habits to restore ease of movement, improve coordination and help with a variety of conditions resulting from chronic tension and stress.

The Alexander Technique is commonly used in professional theatre, dance, and music to enhance performance, improve breathing, vocal production, speed and accuracy of movement, and to address tension-related injuries associated poor musculoskeletal use.

The Alexander Technique is taught through a series of individual lessons during which the teacher uses both verbal and hands-on guidance.

Lessons are useful for adults and children of all ages.
