What are the Benefits of The Alexander Technique? Let me count the ways...
"People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures. It is not the degree of 'willing' or 'trying' but the way in which the energy is directed that will make the 'willing' or 'trying' effective." ~ F.M. Alexander

Now, more than ever, we are witnessing our habits! Our outer world movement was restricted in 2020, 2021, and now in 2023, our inner world still awaits our attention.

Now, more than ever, we are witnessing our habits! Our outer world movement was restricted in 2020, 2021, and now in 2023, our inner world still awaits our attention.

Whether it's taking private lessons or purchasing my guided 'lie down' audio and following the instructions for the experience, both will help you reduce anxiety, regain focus and calm your nervous system.
You have to show up though, for yourself, in order to benefit and practice the skills.
Taking 20 minutes to have a ‘lie down’ is the best way to get a lot done. That’s because self-care leads to productivity and fulfillment. I advise all my students to practice the 'lie down' between lessons. They start with this guided audio—it helps them delve deeper into bad habits and support new thinking. It renews energy and guides the transition into positive behavior.
If you're not able to have individual lessons, or don't have an Alexander Technique teacher in your area, use this as an introduction to practicing the principles. And take a Zoom lessons -- we can actually get a lot of the principles activated remotely.
Bad habits have a way of reasserting themselves. This 'lie down' practice chases away the tensions and fears that usually bring them back.

In the process of the lessons, you see how your physical habits and pains are tied to your thinking and visa-versa. We re-map the body to the mind, so your kinesthesia is renewed to this present moment, now, letting go of old pains and outdated thoughts and perceptions.
