What is the Alexander Technique?

You already know that your body and mind work as one. Is your body and mind working as one in your activities? You probably already suspect that your body often does one thing, while your mind is off doing something else.  Alexander Technique is for you because you understand that having your mind and your body harmonise will create improvement.

Continual non-specific pain is the most dramatic sign of disharmony, but also misalignment, poor balance, poor performance, negative mindset, feeling stuck are all signs that your bodymind is out of balance. Teens rapidly changing but stuck in sedentary school positions, adults adapting to the effects of aging, performers striving to meet the demands of their role are just some of the cross-section that struggle with aches and pains that can’t be explained or adequately addressed.

Alexander Technique teaches you a set of skills to intervene and begin to overcome harmful bodymind patterns that are holding you back. Neuroscience research recognises that there is a relationship between neuro-plasticity and human movement. FM Alexander, founder of Alexander Technique, observed and wrote about this over 100 years ago.

What would it be like if you could speak to your whole bodymind and ask it to collaborate? When your thoughts and movements cooperate, your physiology responds by reducing muscle tension, returning you to your natural alignment, allowing unimpeded blood flow, restoring the whole system to its efficient balance. Imagine a positive mindset, open to possibilities, easily problem solving, powerfully aware without stress.

Alexander allows you to experience unified mindbody harmony and then it trains you to call up that whole bodymind collaboration whenever you might need it. It’s a skill that everyone should know to provide easy movement, relief from many functional problems, unimpeded breathing and calm mindfulness. Join the thousands of people who, like yourself, inutitively know that good health is as much about mindset as it is about physical activity.
