Our Story
Alexander Technique restores natural balance and alignment. It brings a sense of peace and a sense of space in the body rather than tightness and compression. Many people come for relief from pain and then discover their posture improving and greater ease in all the activities of life, from sports to home activities to working at a computer to riding a horse. Movement and balance improve and that manifests in all arenas. Studies show its effectiveness for back pain, neck pain and repetitive strain injuries. It is a phenomenal skill for self-care.
Undo the habits of poor posture that creep in over the years. Restore an upright, joyous body that moves freely and allows you to do more of the activities you love. Dancers - Discover the joy of freedom in movement even while you gain greater control. Freedom and control go hand in hand. Alexander Technique wakes up your inner body sense for better control without tension or pain. Freedom to move, a new way to connect your mind - your thinking - and movement.
One student shared about her experience with my work:
Attentive yet detached,
Simple, gentle yet powerful,
Doing by non-doing,
Invisible and visible meet
Mysteriously in the
Empty hands...
Naturally at ease in her touch,
She creates a vast space
In which I can breathe
Peacefully and freely...
