The Alexander Technique... a unique mind/body re-education was established over a hundred years ago. In Auckland and New Zealand and worldwide there is an increasing awareness of this powerful psycho-physical vehicle that promotes fundamental change to individuals.

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 and ease in everyday life that allows us to live much easier and with more freedom in muscles and joints. In a lesson you are asked to "allow your neck to be free, so that your head may go forward and up, and your back may lengthen and widen." while the teacher gives you this experience. 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 incorrectly that will cause your spine to weaken and ache, your feet to hurt, your body to stoop and droop and generally cause you much grief? We all acquire incorrect ways of stooping and drooping and we lose our natural abilities from childhood. (see picture at top of a baby in a natural and easy crouching position). Alexander said “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. You can make no better decision than booking for the Alexander Technique today: no other method can match what the Technique can offer.

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.
