What is the Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is a re-education of the relationship we have with our bodies.
When people are tense or stressed there is a physiological reaction-to tighten. This
tightening does not go away of its own accord and undermines our ability to carry out tasks,
daily activities, in a comfortable and satisfactory way. By learning the Alexander Technique
we improve our relationship to our bodies and therefore become better at what we do, but above all we reach
a much better sense of ourselves leading to more happiness and fulfillment in every area of
our lives, without exception.
