What is the Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is an educational method that helps us make better use of our selves in our everday activities. Although it is not meant as a treatment, its results do tend to be therapeutic. Many pupils who come to the technique as a result of some kind of chronic or recurring pain experience relief of these ailments following their lessons. A pupil will also gain an understanding of his or her habitual use, and learn how to prevent the behaviors that are causing their difficulties. In the process of learning to change our habits of movement, we also learn to recognize and change our ways of thinking. Some would say that the technique is about learning to change and rediscovering the excitement and joy of learning that many of us lose touch with.

"All I am trying to give you is a new experience"
