“The influence of the manner of use is a constant one upon the general functioning of the organism in every reaction and during every moment of life, andÉ this influence can be a harmful or a beneficial one.” — Frederic Matthias Alexander

The Alexander Technique, when applied conscientiously and with the guidance of a qualified teacher’s hands, will introduce you to an effective means whereby you can consciously, appropriately, and reliably respond to the ever-changing conditions of contemporary life.

Lessons in the Alexander Technique point the way toward the successful inhibition and elimination of undesirable and habitual reaction patterns characterized by excessive tension and mal-coordination, through a reconditioning and re-education of the fundamental way we use ourselves in everyday activities.

As our manner of use improves, so does our general functioning, and so does our capacity to consciously control and direct our manner of reaction in all situations, our capacity to, in F.M. Alexander’s words, “meet a stimulus that always puts [us] wrong and to learn to deal with it.”

After Alexander Technique lessons, pupils typically report increases in poise, alertness, and confidence, decreases in anxiety, tension, and neuro-muscular discomfort, and an improved capacity to more fully engage in and derive fulfillment from careers, hobbies, family and social life.

People from all walks of life have benefited from studying the Alexander Technique, including musicians, dancers, actors,, athletes, computer programmers, lawyers, healthcare professionals, and educators. Studies have also indicated that the Technique provides significant relief to individuals suffering from chronic back pain.
