What is Alexander Technique?

  • Alexander Technique (AT) is a mind-body method that makes us aware of the subconscious habits and patterns interfering with our postural support, movement and breathing. Studying the Technique enables us to prevent and transform these habits, promoting an improved use of our bodies while performing daily activities. This makes everything we do easier, more comfortable, and more pleasurable.


  • betterATbeing's particular way of teaching AT is in the tradition of F.M. Alexander's first-generation student Walter Carrington, to whom F.M. entrusted his practice on his death. This type of teaching is a "classic" approach to AT which grounds the pupil in fundamental skills that can be universally applied to everything we do throughout our lives.


  • Many people who have studied Alexander Technique have experienced relief from chronic pain and discomfort, improved breathing and voice production, and greater ease of movement.


  • People who regularly practice Alexander Technique are likely to experience improvement in general functioning overall: better balance, respiration, circulation, digestion, mood and mental clarity. 


  • People who regularly practice Alexander Technique on an ongoing basis develop an increasing capacity to resist habitual, debilitating reactions to internal and external stimuli, and learn to approach physical, mental and emotional challenges with greater freedom and creativity.


  •  AT is used by
    • actors, singers, and instrumentalists
    • athletes and equestrians
    • those recovering from injury
    • those managing chronic pain, especially back pain
    • those experiencing discomfort resulting from  work activities
    • people suffering from stage fright or anxiety
    • people with breathing disorders
    • people with Parkinson's Disease
    • expectant mothers preparing for childbirth
    • seniors seeking better balance, agility and confidence
    • individuals seeking to improve or explore themselves


  • AT is a self-renewing personal resource that adds immensely to the joy of living
