What is the Alexander Technique?
In Alexander Technique classes, you get to know yourself and your body better. You deepen your understanding of how your thinking and movement go together. You become aware of your posture, movement and reaction patterns. You learn to avoid unnecessary tension. You experience how to move more fluidly and with greater ease.
When we set out to do a thing, getting it done is not really important.
Rather, what is, above all, important, is to pay attention to ourselves in the process of doing that which we set out to do.
