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." ~ F.M. Alexander
What are the Benefits of The Alexander Technique? Let me count the ways...
* Increased range of movement and resting length of muscle tissue. Overall tone and coordination.
* Improved balance
* Abatement of tension and pain.
* Increased lightness in the body-mind, a feeling of wellbeing and an open attitude to life.
* Improved ease of the breathing mechanism.
* Expanded awareness of the environment and how one moves in it, responding with increased choice to the many stimuli we are faced with constantly.
* Increased familiarity with triggers in oneself that bring an unwanted reaction to something or someone.
* Improved ability to withhold a reaction, to give oneself the time to control one's habitual reaction, to make a choice to respond by the continued practice of the principles.
* Lengthened spine and widened back, healing spinal patterns that affect the whole body pattern.
* Develop skills to take away and use everyday in any activity.
* Develop skills of self-care and awareness that put YOU back in the drivers seat.

TESTIMONIALS:
"I walked out like I had been gently poured back into my own body.Immensely lighter than when I went in. Even in NYC, rushing anywhere felt completely absurd: the world felt soft and slow." ODeJ, NYC
(after Frequency Bath session)
"I saw the scoliosis specialist at OCHS Weill-Cornell. She said I was one of the few (thanks to you!) who had a basic understanding of musculature. Also, she was most impressed with the breathing work we've been doing." MK, NYC
(Long time Alexander Student on Zoom)
"Cate was very careful to explain the technique in detail. What it was. What to expect. She is extremely gentle, and concerned about her students the entire time. I wholeheartedly recommend Cate for pain management, and improved posture." DL, NYC
"Ever since I began my Alexander training with Cate, I trust my body more and am more relaxed and present. I just love it, and I'm so grateful I found her. I'm in such a good place now, compared to when I first found Cate. I feel like a totally different person! My shoulder is healed thanks to her work. JZ, BROOKLYN,NY
"I have and am getting so much from my work with Cate. Not only the Alexander, but how you explain it and the care and concentration you put into it with me. It's been life changing and I can't thank you enough. And look forward to seeing you when I return in September." MW, NYC

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. The result is an ever increasing easeful and erect posture and open mind.
