"Alexander Technique taught me to be
upright,
downright,
forthright, and
able to move in any direction."
Student of F. Mathias Alexander
First, consider this: Many habits that human beings take for granted
interfere with the human being's ingenious design to move in concert with
gravity.
Also consider: This interference, whether in the form of thoughts, feelings or sensations, is happening without our conscious awareness.
Now consider: what would be possible if you consciously prevent those habits?
As an Alexander teacher I promise to provide gentle, supportive
hands-on guidance as well as honest conversation so that you can
experience a natural coordination of mind and body that easily guides
your whole being up and gives you the inspiration to be fully expressive.
Each individually tailored lesson can include:
* relearning basic movements such as sitting, standing, walking, bending, speaking and singing.
* enhancing awareness and unraveling excess tension while you lie on a bodywork table.
* refining activities you choose, such as, playing an instrument, golfing, working at a keyboard, text messaging, public speaking, dancing, acting, or horseback riding.
