We are so accustomed to the tension that we carry with us throughout our day that, unless we are in pain, we rarely notice it. Yet it has a powerful impact on every goal we set out to accomplish.

The Alexander Technique helps you use the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity. As a result, you will have more energy for all activities. You will be able to function with greater ease, freedom and control.

During a lesson, the teacher guides the student through a series of simple movements. The student, becoming more aware of the self, learns to observe and change habits that interfere with optimum functioning. Part of each lesson takes place on a padded table, where the student, dressed in comfortable clothing, reclines and the teacher gently realigns the student's spine. Thus the teacher can help the student adjust posture that interferes with fluid and easy movement.

Lessons are individually taught and suited to the particular needs of the student. A series of weekly lessons taught over a period of several months is recommended in the beginning.

Lessons last 45 minutes and cost between $45 and $55 depending on location.
