What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is an educational method used worldwide for over 100 years. It begins with the premise that the human organism is perfectly designed for a range of activities. Tension, poor breath support, and postural habits get in the way of this potential, creating chronic pain, stress, and injury. But by teaching the possibility of change, the Alexander Technique enables ease and improved mobility, balance, and performance.
Are you experiencing... less energy and alertness, back pain, joint stiffness, poor digestion, nerve damage, chronic pain, loss of mobility, anxiety, tension, and/or stress?
With the Alexander Technique you'll get... renewed energy, reduced physical tension, better breath support, improved organ function, lowered blood pressure, improved mobility and balance, improved posture, and a relaxed and present attitude!
about its founder
F.M. Alexander (1869-1955) was an Australian actor who developed what is now known as the Alexander Technique. As a young man he had an excellent reputation for his one-man Shakespearian orations, but he would have trouble with his voice every time he performed. The solutions prescribed by numerous doctors and specialists did not cure him. A turning point came when Alexander hypothesized that he himself must have been doing something to make himself lose his voice. He then embarked on an extended period of self-observation and discovered that the way he was actually using his body did not match his perception of how he was using his body. Over the course of many years, he developed and continually refined a method for increasing sensory perception by freeing oneself from habitual patterns of thinking and movement.
