Many people, often live in a state of almost permanent muscle tension without realising it. If you are like most people, your body is likely stuck in tense muscle patterns that may be causing you problems, from back pain to headaches even to  anxiety. The Alexander Technique (AT) can teach you to unlearn these stuck patterns so you can move through your life with more ease and much less pain. By understanding yourself and becoming more mindful, you can then put this into practice for yourself. Mostly, people don’t realise that they are tensing a part of themselves in response to stress or moving in such a way that’s not helpful but having the ability to identify the root cause of a problem brings a solution that lasts. This is ultimately a system of self analysis which leads to self care in every day functioning.

The AT is a mental discipline that teaches how to let go of tension in your body and how to enable you to move with ease and less effort.  We get used to doing the same thing in the same way, and it’s hard to not make the same kinds of choices we are in the habit of making – the ones we are used to making without thinking about it. Learning the AT promotes a greater awareness between your thinking and the reactions within your body, helping you to understand how and when your problems occur and giving you the tools to change what you do and how you do it.
