What is the Alexander Technique?

Alexander Technique is an awareness-building process that cultivates an internal flow by creating space to integrate body and mind by studying "the how" of any activity.

The Alexander Technique is a practice that seeks balance, flow, and coordination in our mind and body. Increased awareness creates an opportunity for choice. Embodied, intentional choice (start slowly, increase tempo as you stay connected, easy) creates new thinking and movement patterns that rewire the brain, diminish the grip of old habits, and allow for ease and connection inside and outside our bodies.

The process changed my perspective on how I held tension in my body, which is something acupuncture, massage, etc. hadn’t addressed.”
