Introduction to the Technique
The Alexander Technique effectively undoes fixed habits that interfere with how we breathe, move, and support ourselves. To be increasingly freed from fixed habits, is to be simultaneously freed from unconstructive physical, mental, and emotional reactions to stimuli. Simply and practically, the Technique helps us breathe more easily, discover our innate capacity for efficiency in the activities of living, and become more of who we are and who we yet might be in the world.

What happens during an Alexander Technique Lesson?
An AT lesson is a pleasurable and educational somatic experience. Typically 45 or 30 minutes long, a lesson consists of simple movements—such as getting in and out of a chair— as well as table work. The aim is to help the student further release longstanding habitual patterns of breathing and support. In a lesson, you and your teacher will investigate how you move and breathe, using language as well as a gentle, firm touch. Practice will help you undo habitual neuromuscular patterns, and engender greater flexibility, improved breathing, and strengthened resilience.
