What is Contemporary
Alexander Technique?
Contemporary Alexander Technique is a practical, kinesthetic, hands-on study of our innate design for movement and support, our habits of awareness and response, and our ability to make new choices. It teaches you how to relieve pain, tension, and habitual life patterns, and rediscover excellence, ease, strength, flexibility, grace, joy, and choice in every activity of life.
“Release yourself from the tyranny of choices you don’t even know you are making”
- JP, Physical Theater Performer & Educator
