About the Work
"There is only one way of saying what the work is and what we are doing. We are giving Nature her opportunity. This is a definition allowing for change and growth." - F.M. Alexander
Alexander Technique teaches us to move more naturally, the way our bodies are intended to move, with freedom and ease, allowing day-to-day life to become more enjoyable. The principles can be applied to all aspects of your life and everything you do, including sitting, walking, working at a computer, and playing an instrument or a sport.
Alexander Technique sessions combine hands-on bodywork with mindfulness and movement education. You will learn to recognize undesired habits and make a conscious choice toward change as your body lets go of tension and holding patterns.
Alexander technique is sometimes described as movement re-education as it helps your body return to its innate state of wholeness, integration, and well-being.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session is different as it is tailored to the individual and what they bring to the session. Most sessions include hands-on tablework in which the teacher guides the student to recognize and release holding patterns in their body and access a state of wholeness. Sessions may also include anatomy / body mapping with applications to movements and activities. Any activity can be brought to a session, from texting to holding a baby to running a marathon!

Recommended Frequency of Sessions
People often ask how long it takes to learn the Alexander Technique. It is recommended that new clients take weekly sessions for at least five to ten weeks to learn to embody the work in their lives and activities. Many people take ongoing weekly or monthly sessions, while others take five or ten sessions and may come back for periodic "tune-ups" when needed. It is different for everyone.
