WHAT IS THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE?
THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE IS A SOMATIC PRACTICE EXPLORING THE MIND/BODY RELATIONSHIP IN COORDINATION.
In the early 1920's, Frederick Mathias Alexander, an Australian actor, began to develop a method for changing unconscious movement habits in order to create his own voice therapy.. He used observation and hands-on guidance to inform and guide students into new awareness and new patterns of movement. This evolved into what is now called the Alexander Technique, and is taught both in private sessions and in alexander technique workshops.
The Alexander Technique is now considered a somatic practice, It complements and supports physical therapy, music and voice lessons, dance, and sports training.
