Alexander Technique

 Often associated with posture and alignment, the Alexander Technique re-educates a body in using less muscle tension. In life we adopt the habits of our parents and our peers. We take on traumas and emotional experiences in our muscles. And we use ourselves in ways that are faulty to our design.

With the guidance of a qualified Alexander technique teacher you will become aware of how muscle tension affects your whole body system. Your movement and your mood may be effected by unnecessary tension held in muscles. Alexander was particularly interested in how the spine relates to the head and how this affects the co-ordination throughout the body.

While investigating his voice problem, Alexander discovered that in co-ordinating his movements in new ways he not only cured his voice problem but healed a bronchial condition he had since childhood. He then found his work helped all sorts of problems from walking with polio to back problems and stress related issues.
