The Alexander Technique helps to achieve good posture, freedom of movement, easy breathing, confidence and general well-being while relieving back pain, neck pain and general stiffness.
These benefits are achieved through the awareness of how your habits of muscular tension are restricting your activity.
Standing naturally, breathing easily and moving gracefully were once activities that you took for granted, but perhaps now they are more difficult.
Lessons in The Alexander Technique help you to recognise and prevent the habits which prevent your ability to stand easily at your full height, with good balance and with minimum effort.
Your posture is an expression of you, reflecting what you think and feel - your fears, anxieties and doubts; your joys, dreams and successes. It mirrors your reactions and responses to life.
The Alexander Technique helps you to make sense of this interconnection and gives you a choice over how you respond.
With the help of a teacher of the Alexander Technique, you will be able to stop and observe yourself as you become aware of the habits you may have got in to over the years.
