Renowned Teacher of The Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a movement reeducation modality that creates greater ease of motion, balance and coordination in the everyday functional movement of the body. By retraining the mind and body to release unnecessary and harmful tension, the Alexander Technique can help you improve your posture, reduce stress, gain poise and confidence, relieve back pain and gain more energy for all of your activities.
The Alexander Technique addresses posture in a variety of ways. It begins by helping the student to understand and deactivate muscles that put unnecessary pressure on the skeletal system, while activating neglected muscles to begin moving in a synchronized, holistic way. The Alexander Technique teaches greater awareness of how we carry our bodies, and empowers people to recognize and lose harmful postural habits.
