    Allow the neck to be free, the head to balance up, the spine to have it's length, the torso to widen.

    The first time I had an Alexander Technique lesson I walked out of there feeling about 2 feet taller and much stronger, like my whole upper body was stronger and more supported. Incredible experience. I should go more often but even just having that 1 first lesson changed my life and how i view my body, and that was 10+ years ago!

    The Alexander Technique is just like meditation! It is not about undoing or stopping the tension, but BEING AWARE OF TENSION. The aim is not to undue tension, that is the byproduct. The purpose is to be aware :)

    • @rubenmanssens
      @rubenmanssens 4 года назад +8

      The Alexander Technique is more than just getting in and out of a chair.
      Most people who have neck and back aches have them because they get into a habbit of bad posture, mainly tensing up muscles that don't need to be used.
      Like tensing up your neck and face muscles when you sit or stand.
      Alexander breaks these habbits by moving you in sertain ways where you don't use those muscles and your body picks that up.

In order to teach, you need to have lived the technique. At 59, and bent over a drawing board most days, I’m a bit long in the tooth to study for 3 years.
