The Art of
The Alexander Technique
Use affects functioning. If we use ourselves well we function well if we use ourselves badly we function badly. The Alexander Technique is unique in that it emphasises the quality of our experience in everything that we do in our daily lives. We learn to allow the head to balance freely on top of the spine so that we can stop interfering with our poise and coordination. Using the Technique we learn how to bring this experience into movement so that we find a new quality of freedom and lightness in our daily lives - walking, singing, playing music, acting, running, riding. |
Devised by FM Alexander who was born in Tasmania in 1869 and died in London in 1955, the Technique helps us to develop our sensory awareness
- the 'lost sixth sense' - a completely new experience. |
