Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique teaches people to move with lightness, ease, and freedom. Unlike other movement disciplines, such as yoga or pilates, there are no exercises in the Alexander Technique. It deals with a more essential aspect of mvoing, the habitual way one responds when approaching any activity. Students learn to identify and prevent reactions of tensing and stiffening. they gain an ability to consciously direct their movement.
