The Alexander Technique offers a unique, practical way to address the tension and stress of daily life, while learning how to move more freely.
When we experience stress, be it mental, physical, or emotional, it manifests itself as muscular tension, which in turn may result in pain. This tension becomes more and more of a habit as we navigate through our busy day until it becomes a part of us. Sometimes referred to as a "psychophysical" approach, the Alexander Technique provides a means whereby a person can become more aware of this unnecessary tension, stop doing what is causing it, and learn to redirect their thinking to discover a more efficient and lively way to move, sit, stand or engage in any activity.
Benefits of studying the Alexander Technique can include ease of movement, relief from pain, relief of tension and stress, freeing of the breath, improved coordination and an overall sense of poise and well-being.
