To study the Alexander Technique, is to walk a path of self-discovery

Frederick Matthias Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, discovered through shrewd self-observation, that he was performing physical and also mental habits while acting on stage. He then realized that he was performing these same psychophysical habits more subtly in his day-to-day life, off stage. He decided to take matters into his own hands and created an awareness-building technique to address his individual issues. He quickly came to learn that all humans walk this earth as a bundle of habits. So how do we reclaim our bundle? How do we find freedom of movement and change for the better? The path is what FM Alexander called “The Means Whereby”.

In a typical lesson, I use gentle hands-on feedback as well a verbal direction to help guide my students towards improving their posture and working towards their individual goals, which can range from reducing back pain while sitting at a desk all day, to singing and dancing on stage with ease.

In addition to improved posture and pain relief, some benefits from studying the Alexander Technique also include:

• Improved stage presence

• Mangaing hyper-mobility

• Enhanced balance

• Improved mindfulness and ability to manage stress

• Improved breathing efficiency and vocal production
