“The Alexander Technique has played an important part in my life.
It keeps the body alive at ages when people have resigned themselves to
irreversible decline. Those committed to it find they cannot do without
it.”
—Robertson Davies, writer

The Alexander Technique is
a practical method for learning to change inefficient habits of how you
move and use your body. Using gentle touch and verbal guidance the
teacher helps you recognize and release areas of tension that interfere
with your body's natural poise and coordination, allowing you to
function with more ease and less strain.

“Lessons in the Alexander Technique taught me how to sit in a state
of lumbrosacral poise, and my chronic low back pain gradually became
cured. The Technique is true education. Compared to surgery for low back
pain or chronic obstructive lung disease, a course of instruction is
inexpensive.”
