What is Alexander Technique (AT)?

  • AT is a way of getting to know yourself better, in a structured way, with the guidance of a qualified teacher
  • AT teaches you how to use your body in a simpler, easier way
  • AT helps you understand the effect of thoughts and emotions on your body, as well as the effect of physical tension on your state of mind
  • AT is a mind-body discipline that may be practiced at any time in daily life

What can AT do for me? What does the research say?

  • AT has been shown to relieve chronic back pain and chronic neck pain
  • AT has positive effects on mood, confidence, and self-efficacy
  • AT can reduce performance anxiety in musicians
  • AT may reduce disability in people with Parkinson’s Disease
  • AT can mitigate the effects of aging

 

How is AT taught?

  • AT is most often taught one-on-one
  • A series of 10 lessons is recommended to gain benefit from AT
  • AT is taught using verbal instruction and gentle hands-on guidance, with the student seated, standing, or in activity, depending on the lesson
  • Most lessons include time with the student lying on a bodywork table, receiving verbal and manual guidance
 

My work with Elizabeth has made me more aware of how I hold and carry my body in space. Elizabeth helped me make small adjustments to both my posture and my thought processes, which have had a positive affect on my health and stress levels.

It was amazing to me how much a tiny adjustment to how I stand could make such a big difference in how I felt. I now use what she taught me every day at work, and it has helped tremendously with my lower back pain.
