What can I expect from Alexander Lessons? ----The Method ---- The Results
Well-known people who study Alexander ---- Major institutions that teach Alexander
Stress Reduction - We all are so accustomed to tension we rarely notice it-but it interferes with healthy mental and physical functioning.
Ease of Movement - As you learn to use only the appropriate effort when you move, your kinesthetic sense becomes more accurate, so you move with greater ease, freedom, and control.
Calm and Poise - You’ll learn how to control habitual patterns of tension, even in stressful situations, and establish in their place, calm and poise.
Expanded Awareness - Your increase in mind-body awareness can serve a stimulus for raised consciousness. You may feel a heightening of perceptive abilities, a surge of aliveness, confidence in your abilities, and a more free, natural approach to life.
Skillful Performance - As you develop your overall coordination, your skill is enhanced. Musicians, actors, dancers, singers and athletes have long relied on the Alexander Technique to improve their skillful performance.
Pain Relief - Alexander students have experienced relief from ailments as diverse as back pain, headaches, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, insomnia, and depression.
Increased Presence - Whether it be business presentations, public speaking or theatrical performance, we can all benefit from more personal presence, making all our performances more convincing.
The Alexander Technique is taught in a series of private half-hour to hour lessons. Using gentle hands-on guidance and verbal instruction, the teacher helps you become more aware of patterns of movement and tension that interfere with your natural postural reflexes and teaches you to allow these natural mechanisms of poise to function more freely. The process of lessons changes your general coordination in daily activity, which is the key to an improved standard of health and well-being
