What is the Alexander Technique?

Alexander Technique shows you how to address systemic pressures that can be responsible for many painful chronic conditions. Taught to thousands of people around the world since the late 19th century Alexander works on the premise that your body and mind are part of the same operating system. 

Alexander Technique teaches a special kind of thinking called directing. It’s unusual because it trains you to unlock held muscle groups throughout your body.

In Alexander Technique lessons you re-learn basic patterns of movement from simple hinging, walking, balancing standing through to more complex patterns of movement.

People who learn Alexander Technique are often able to monitor if their movement is hurting them. They know how to intervene and prevent harmful patterns of movement and how to harmonise with their body’s natural design.

Although Alexander Technique is a simple skill to learn, it has long lasting benefits for health and well being.
