WHAT IS THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE?

 

The Alexander Technique is a process for observing and changing your habits. Through the study of the Alexander Technique, one can achieve greater heights in artistic expression and creative freedom.

The Technique is based on the principles of movement:

  • there is a neuro-muscular-skeletal mechanism for coordinating movement,

  • we are born with this mechanism, and

  • it is present and working for us provided we do not interfere with it.

When one studies the Alexander Technique, one changes the way one thinks, and consequently, how one moves. One creates a direct pathway from intention to movement, in the most efficient way.

Study of the Alexander Technique can:

  • unlock your creative potential.

  • develop your awareness and attention.

  • help relieve stress and pain.

  • allow for new choices in your movement and in your responses to situations within your life.

Movement is the direct pathway from imagination to performance. For reasons we may not be able to explain, these pathways get blocked. mBODYed Learning will help you open these pathways, leading you to find the authentic expression of your creativity and imagination. mBODYed will guide you in further developing your performance skills and teaching through additional training leading to certification in Body Mapping and the Alexander Technique.
