Alexander Technique Retreats

Offering 5-Day Residential Retreats that provide full immersion into the Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique offers a clear, systematic look into the underlying principles that govern human movement. When applied, these principles guide us to a dynamic experience of kinesthetic lightness, wherein thinking becomes clearer, feelings balanced, sensations livelier, and movement more pleasurable. Within this integrated, more conscious condition, we find our actions strengthened and refined, our sense of time expanded, and our rapport with the environment restored. WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU
-Reduce tension and stress in everyday activities (walking, cooking, sitting at a computer, driving a car).
-Deepen awareness in specialized activities, such as Yoga, Pilates, and Martial Arts.
-Enhance presentation skills by overcoming fear and stage fright.
-Improve skills in sports (golf, tennis, running, swimming) and performing arts (dancing, singing, acting, playing a musical instrument).
-Learn to relieve chronic pain from lower back syndrome, neck and shoulder tension, runner’s knee, tennis elbow.
-Prevent future injuries.
-Improve posture, coordination, and self-awareness.
-Increase energy and mental clarity
