What is the Alexander
Technique
The Alexander Technique is a
practical method for obtaining
a more effective and balanced
use of the body. It is a skill which
can be employed in any
activity. The Technique helps to develop
your consciousness; you become
more aware of how you respond
to life's situations. You
learn better to detect unnecessary and
excessive tensions in the
tasks you perform. Generally it's old
and unconscious
habits which decide how we are going to
do something. When
you realise more clearly what it is you do
and what these
habits are, it's easier to change them.
You can see with
little children how naturally upright they
are and how freely
they move around. With the Alexander Technique
we too can learn
again some of this natural freedom.
