F M Alexander has given us a method to improve postural support, breathing and movement through the use of practical and directional thinking.

Applying the Alexander Technique makes me feel good. An improved integrated muscular system is enjoyable. Thinking makes the difference.

Learn to apply the basic principles of the body’s natural coordination. Improve the quality of your own movement.

“The Alexander Technique teaches you how to bring practical intelligence into what you are already doing, how to eliminate stereotyped responses, how to deal with habit and change. It leaves you free to choose yor own goal but gives you a better use of yourself while you work toward it” - Frank Pierce Jones

Let the natural patttern of use return.

Small children practice repeatedly to find their balance, to find the strength to support themselves in a very natural way. When did we start interfering with this learned balance? The interference creeps in without us realising. While we busy ourselves with the outside goings on. Not knowing we are gradually changing the natural balance on our feet that we practiced so repeatedly. Tense patterns creep in.

“People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures” - F M Alexander

Learn to think in a way that will bring about change.
