stand up to anxiety

Anxious, depressed woman. Wholistic Alexander Technique lessons can help you manage your whole mind-

Do better under stress

  • Alexander Technique can teach you how to lower your own stress levels. You can use your AT skills to stop reacting to stressors with the self-defeating tensing and holding that give anxiety a lock on your spirit. AT can help you quiet your reactions and choose healthier behaviors, from moment to moment and over the long term.  

AT can offer relief from anxiety

  • Alexander Techique can help you manage depression and anxiety. And in combination with other treatment options or alone, AT can help you reduce the scope and duration of mood collapses or anxiety attacks by giving you tools to guide your own thinking productively for self-care. You need to use all the tools at your disposal to combat anxiety effectively.

Depression and anxiety are dangerous

  • Anxiety underlies 99% of alcoholics' drinking disorders, and research associates it with depressive disorder over 75% of the time. It can adversely affect the nervous system in micromolecular ways.


  • This can increase inflammation, amplify pain and accelerate health problems. And these problems can include high blood pressure and high blood sugar, so anxiety can ultimately lead to poor circulation and organ damage. Depression and anxiety can also cause you to restrict your own breathing, so your respiratory functioning can be adversely affected as well.


  • Consulting your doctor is very important. Your physician may recommend anti-anxiety medication, talk therapy or other types of treatment. Addressing the underlying cause of the problem can be critical, because this will prevent the cascade of negative effects that chronic anxiety can unleash. Chemical imbalance is often key.  But AT can be an invaluable tool, in addition to medication and other clinical approaches, for managing anxiety and depression.

Engage fully in life

  • Life is full of stressors and avoiding them can cause us to needlessly withdraw from life. It's how we deal with stress that matters.


  • AT can provide you with strategies you can use to respond to each potential stressor as a stimulus for learning, so you can respond effectively. And grow as a person.


  • AT can help you reclaim your wholeness and integrity. So when anxiety threatens to distort your perspective and disrupt your life, AT can make a real difference for the better.
