What is the Alexander Technique?
Renewing Natural Healthy Energy and Stamina
The Alexander Technique... a unique mind/body re-education was established over a hundred years ago. In Auckland, in New Zealand and worldwide there is an increasing awareness of this powerful psycho-physical vehicle that promotes fundamental change to individuals, in posture, in pain, in stress and tension, to a whole re-alignment in ease, freedom, flexibility and uprightness.
Do you want to make the best of yourself, but haven't found out how? Taking lessons with an Alexander teacher on a one-to-one basis is the best way to learn how to
"Walk Tall and Look the World Right in the Eye"
Teachers of the Alexander Technique promote fluidness in everyday life that allows us to live easier lives with more freedom in muscles and joints. These lessons are not a course of treatments but rather tuning one's mind to good posture habits.
From the young to the elderly, what actions do you do, how do you use yourself, that will cause your spine to weaken and ache, your feet to hurt, your body to stoop; generally causing much grief? We all acquire incorrect habits over time and we lose our natural abilities of ease and lightness seen in childhood.

"If you want to watch 'good use' watch a child who is doing what they’re interested in"
With each lesson you will derive greater mental, physical and emotional stamina as you unlearn the learned bad habits of yesteryear. In a lesson you are asked, while the teacher gives you this experience, to
"allow your neck to be free, so that your head may go forward and up, and your back may lengthen and widen"
Be assessed by an Alexander teacher on a one-to-one basis for your unique needs in order to re-align yourself and your valuable skeletal system to it's natural usage, the benefits of which are invaluable.
