ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

The Alexander Technique is a learning method that helps you release tension, improve posture, and move with greater ease. With gentle guidance from a teacher, you become aware of harmful habits and learn to replace them with more balanced, efficient movement. Many people use it to reduce pain, manage stress, and enhance coordination, posture, or voice.

How it works

• Learn, don’t just exercise: It’s about re-educating how you use your body, not doing passive treatments.

• Awareness: Notice how you move and identify tension patterns like a stiff neck or rounded shoulders.

• Pause and redirect: Stop habitual, unhelpful reactions and practice more balanced movement.

• Mind-body connection: Changing how you think about movement changes how you move.
