The Alexander Technique is a unique self-help approach that teaches people how to do things with more ease and freedom – from sitting in front of a computer or texting to playing the guitar or dancing. Regular application can help the student recognize and prevent poor postural habits that can lead to pain as well as underperformance.

Unlike therapies or exercises, the Alexander Technique teaches people to gradually improve the way they look after themselves in all their waking hours – both at rest or during activity. Through the Alexander Technique, the pupil becomes more and more autonomous, able to develop new strategies to do things with greater ease and often, greater enjoyment. As healthy postural support and an overall sense of focus and calm become more established, people are more able to let go of tensions and unproductive efforts they may previously have been unaware of.

Our habitual ways of thinking and moving, have a profound effect on the way we feel and how well we function. Although the Alexander Technique is not a therapy per se, pupils often notice improvements in their overall health and ...
... well-being. Many rediscover a sense of calmness, lightness, relaxation, and alertness they haven’t felt in years.

Developed by actor F.M. Alexander over a hundred years ago, the Alexander Technique has helped thousands of people make the most of life by improving the way they worked.
