Learn How to Regulate Your Nervous System
Alexander Technique lessons provide relief from stress, tension and anxiety giving forth emotional healing through mindfulness and so bring about a lightness of being that transfers seamlessly to daily activities outside of the studio.
Most often we try too hard. We put too much effort into how we accomplish our everyday tasks. A pattern of overwork develops. The tension and stress that result are relieved through the Alexander Technique.
The Alexander Technique teaches teaches a pathway to find a balance of just the right amount of effort - not too much nor too little, initiated from within.
The Alexander Technique is a pathway to becoming "present."
Nature gives us a well-ordered structure, each component with a corresponding job working together in concert. The Alexander Technique teaches how to tap into these mechanisms that lay beneath our ill serving habits.
As life becomes more complex, so too its demands. We tend to accommodate in whatever way we immediately see fit, possibly misappropriating tasks of our intricate system. Short term, our coping skills may work, but long term, our inherent harmony of balance and strength are likely compromised.
The Alexander Technique unearths the source of our troubles, a practice that relieves stress and anxiety. Building upon foundational thinking principles developed by F.M. Alexander over a century ago, the teacher's hands and words serve as a guide for the student to regulate their nervous system naturally.
A mindful process, the Alexander Technique opens a passage through which the student connects to their wholeness as an interwoven human being, while simultaneously acknowledging their relationship to their surroundings.
Those born with physical challenges and/or who have had successful or failed corrective surgeries can all benefit from the Alexander Technique, as it facilitates growth toward each individual student’s optimal potential.
