About the Alexander Technique The Alexander Technique is a way of learning to recognize and change harmful habits of movement and posture. We have all heard of body intelligence. Toddlers show a gracefulness and ease of movement that is a distant memory for most adults. The Alexander Technique re-awakens and re-calibrates those parts of the nervous system that allow for this natural, effortless movement.
Alexander Technique has immediate practical application as it is intended to be absorbed into daily awareness and common activities.
"The Alexander
Technique is generally regarded as one for altering the postural
behavior of individuals and indeed it can so be regarded. However it
concerns itself with considerably more than this. It is a technique for
altering the reaction of the individual to the stimuli of his
environment and thus it can be applied to the whole range of human
activities, whether these be regarded as just thought processes or
processes involving predominately muscular activity"
