Private Lessons

"...the Alexander Technique doesn't teach you something new to do. It teaches you how to bring more practical intelligence into what you are already doing: how to eliminate stereotyped responses: how to deal with habit and change. It leaves you free to choose your own goal but gives you a better use of yourself while you work toward it."
                    
--Frank Pierce Jones, Freedom To Change

During a private lesson, the teacher will guide the student through activities such as sitting and standing with gentle hands on and verbal guidance. The student may lie on a table for part of the lesson while the teacher improves the coordination of her head, neck, back and limbs, and then return to work with sitting, standing, speaking, or any other activities that the student wants to address. In between lessons, students are encouraged to observe the way they use themselves throughout the day, and to practice a lying down procedure which helps to expand self-awareness.

Many people have difficulty sitting in a balanced and upright position that doesn't strain the neck and back.

 

The teacher helps the student to release the unnecessary tension that interferes with sitting in a balanced way.
