Alexander Technique is a system of paying deep attention to your body's coordination - how your legs move in relation to your back or how your neck moves when you speak, for example. So very often, we are doing much more with our bodies than we are consciously aware of. Tension patterns in our bodies built up over years of encountering the difficulties of life can come in many forms and can cause chronic pain and discomfort. These tension patterns are inextricably linked to the ways we move through our lives as well.

​

Do we curl in with our shoulders for protection, to avoid living through an open heart?

Do we stand with our feet close together to avoid taking up too much space?

Do we habitually hold our breath, anticipating some future catastrophe?

​

The subtle, but transformative practice of Alexander Technique allows students to gradually become aware of these constricting patterns of these bodies and increasingly allows us to choose to move in more expansive, authentic ways. Finding a more spacious and easeful way of living within these bodies can have surprising effects on the state of our outer lives.
