What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique teaches us to move with ease and to manage our responses and reactions. It helps us recognise habits which are no longer useful and interfere with our ability to coordinate our movements. Through this awareness, we learn to reduce unwanted tension in our bodies and our minds.
It is an educational process that helps us recognise how our thinking affects our movement. An evidence-based approach effective in many health-related conditions, the Alexander Technique is an indirect path discovering ease, poise and joy in everyday life.
