Alexander Technique Lessons in New York, NY: why?

New York City is one of the most stimulating places on earth, and sometimes its immersive drive can be overwhelming. But Alexander Technique (AT) can help you keep your equilibrium. Hands-on instruction helps you to absorb AT experientially and cultivate a well-organized and beneficial state of mind and body, available whenever you need it. 

With hands-on Alexander Technique lessons from betterATbeing, located in New York, NY, you will begin to recognize the ways you habitually react to external stimulus with excessive and unnecessary tension. And you'll see how these reactions can lead you to continually repeat unhealthy postural patterns.

You will come to realize that unknowingly engaging in this habitual behavior causes you to move awkwardly and inefficiently, dulling your sensory awareness, leaving you with discomfort, pain, and even injury. You will gain the awareness and skills you need to correct your unhealthy habits and attain greater freedom.

Taught one-on-one, AT provides you with the understanding you need to enjoy your body - and your life- more than ever before. Imparting this understanding is betterATbeing's mission. With individual, holistic Alexander Technique lessons at betterATbeing, you can learn to go about everything you do in a new way. You will learn to be more intentional in each moment of every day. And you can let go, choice by choice, of the things you do that hurt and exhaust you. These things are just bad habits, not a life sentence.

Alexander Technique can help you improve your physical well-being, and in the process, your mental state as well. With the skills you develop in your AT lessons with Elizabeth, you can take a more thoughtful role in conducting your own energy effectively and express yourself with greater ease and confidence.

As the Technique enables you to take greater charge of yourself you can feel – and be – empowered. You can stop merely enduring your environment and begin to consciously influence and transform your own experience. Just knowing that you have these simple but powerful skills at your disposal can give you a brighter outlook and renewed zest for life.

All this is possible because our minds and bodies are not separate, but integral parts of a single continuum - the Self. Our lessons in Alexander Technique can help us learn how to guide our Selves properly, with the attention we deserve. Then we can holistically comprehend and manage our Selves in ways that make us more functional, less fatigued, and increasingly free from pain and stress, both physical and mental. And we can do our jobs better, without burning out.

Describing the experiential learning process of AT can be challenging, because it may seem esoteric. However, it is in fact very practical. More and more scientific evidence demonstrates its effectiveness, and as better imaging tools are developed for research purposes, how AT works, and its clinical basis, is becoming better understood.
