Resources: The Alexander Technique



What Is The Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is a widely recognized educational method for improving balance, alignment, ease, flexibility and energy. The Technique offers us insight into the underlying principles that govern human movement. When applied, these principles guide us to a dynamic experience of kinesthetic lightness, wherein thinking becomes clearer, feeling accessible, sensations livelier, and movement more pleasurable. Within this fluid, more conscious condition, we find our actions and interactions strengthened and refined, our sense of time expanded and our rapport with the environment restored.

During workshops or individual lessons we explore Constructive Rest, a dynamic procedure for rejuvenating your mind and body. While cultivating a balanced resting state, we'll apply basic principles of the Alexander Technique and Body Mapping to gain clear and accurate information about our anatomical structure for optimal movement. With guidance in gentle movement and enhanced quality of thinking, students will discover how to revitalize themselves throughout their day.
