Alexander Technique School - Alexander Alliance

The Alexander Technique gives us a working knowledge of the principles which govern human coordination. Through study, we become capable of redirecting excessive effort into useful energy. We learn how to transform tension into attention, fatigue into kinesthetic lightness. Regaining deep structural support, we experience, once again, the sheer pleasure of movement.

The Alexander Technique teaches us how to be relaxed and ready, soft and strong, light and substantial, firm and flexible, awake to ourselves, to each other, and to our surroundings.

Fluid as melting ice, Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?

If you realize that all things change there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

Less and less will you need to force things.

– Lao Tzu / Philosopher, Translation by Stephen Mitchell

We are designed for movement. Whether we are dancing, hammering a nail, working at a computer, singing a song, or walking to the store, we possess an inherent capacity to move naturally. Naturalness encourages ease, flexibility, power, and expressiveness. Unwittingly, we often interfere with this design. Energy, delight, and grace give way to effort, tension, and fatigue.
