What is the Alexander Technique
It is a unique system of re-education that promotes awareness of mind and body in everyday life. The Alexander Technique teaches you what not to do, enabling you to move more easily and to react with an increased freedom of choice. It is gentle and therapeutic and at the same time, educational, giving you the tools to resolve unwanted habit patterns.
You can apply the Technique to everything you do from sitting at your desk to gardening, DIY, driving, public speaking, hobbies... the list is endless.
- reduce unwanted tension
- improve your posture
- manage pain
- manage stress
- learn to use appropriate effort
- regain poise and inner calm
- learn a skill for life
"The Alexander Technique will benefit anyone whether they are an elite athlete or whether they just wish to live life without the aches and pains that many people suffer and accept as part of life. It is a pity that these techniques are not shown to us all at an early age for I have no doubt that this would alleviate many of the causes of ill health in our communities." Greg Chappell - Australian test cricketer (1970 - 1984)
