The F.M. Alexander Technique is something you learn, as well as an educational approach. Lessons in it teach a unique way of looking at your patterns of habitual tension and how they affect you in activity, while also giving you common sense tools to make change on your own.

Now 125 years old, the Technique provides students with a method that addresses prevention, pain relief, self-care, vocal production, learning, and skill improvement.  People from a vast range of ages and diverse walks of life use Alexander Technique to help themselves, including: musicians with R.S.I. or tendinitis; hypermobile people; people with asthma; mindfulness / awareness practitioners; computer users and anyone with back pain or neck pain; those living with M.S. or auto-immune diseases; as well as public speakers, actors, and athletes who want to prevent injury while improving endurance and performance.

The Alexander Technique is an experiential, educational method. It is as much a high-level awareness discipline as it is about your body.
