The Alexander Technique
Most people accept excess tension or muscle strain as a natural outcome of their busy lives, but we don't need to accept it. You can exercise conscious control over your body in order to move more effectively. The Alexander Technique, developed by F.M. Alexander, is a mind/body education that includes a gentle hands-on process to re-educate the body. It improves your postural balance and body alignment, the way you move and breathe, and the way you accomplish your everyday tasks. It relieves compression of the spine, neck, and shoulders, frees you up, enables you to act more mindfully, and replaces habits and postures that hinder the very movement you're trying to achieve. By exploring first-hand the interconnectedness that the Alexander Technique promotes, you will experience better posture, increased efficiency of movement, and a deeper well being.
