The Alexander Technique is a skill for self-development. It is used to improve well being and to achieve more effective performance in a wide range of situations, since it helps you to find an easy balance in all that you do. In one-to-one lessons, an Alexander teacher uses a combination of gentle manual and verbal guidance to help you experience poise and efficient movement. This allows you to perceive and change habits, which impede your natural efficiency. As you learn to practice the Technique on your own, results include improved posture, prevention and alleviation of many ailments, a more positive response to stress, and greater adeptness in any activity.
Some of the benefits include :
- Relief from pain
- Greater self awareness
- Improved co-ordination
- Freedom from tension
- Re-gaining natural alignment
