The Alexander Technique - An Introduction is a workshop exploring simple misconceptions of how we use our bodies.

What he explored practiced and taught were laws of nature applied practically and physically to living and moving. Applying his technique has allowed people to manage their bodies with choice and ease instead of habits of pain or tension. This workshop will explore how the body’s design has been compromised as we move and live in today’s world. We will identify how we can use human design more easily and offer practical tips to carry this forward into building awareness for your own body and life.
