The Alexander Technique

Every man, woman and child holds the possibility of physical perfection; it rests with each of us to attain it by personal understanding and effort.
--F.M. Alexander

Poor postural habits are not structural or genetic, but behavioral responses to everyday physical demands. F.M. Alexander discovered there are systems in the body that naturally coordinate us. Only when we consciously change our behavior can we gain the control that allows us to move with the dynamic support of our whole bodies. The Alexander Technique teaches us to identify and change learned habits that limit our natural coordination. We must come to understand how the mind and body interact to create coordinated movement, through challenging our own bodies to work to their fullest capacity.
