| Alexander Technique ~ how can it help me? |
When we are small children, we do most things with simplicity and freedom of
movement. As we grow up we develop habits of thought and action which can
lead us into considerable pain and difficulty. But how can we change these
habits and rediscover some of our natural grace and poise?
The Alexander Technique can help you re-address how you move, think,
breathe, learn, perform.
During a lesson, gentle guidance in movement and relaxation from the
teacher's hands, combined with self-help information, can bring about quite
radical changes. Balance and co-ordination improve; breathing becomes
easier; movement more efficient. As a result, painful conditions may be
alleviated.
The Alexander technique is a way of re-training the mind/body mechanism. It
does not involve massage, manipulation or a series of exercises, but
encourages you to think differently about how you encounter the world. In
time, one's approach to life can become more calm and self-aware, allowing
us to deal better with stress and challenges. |
