Between lessons many students ask their teachers, "How can I practice?" The purpose of Guided Lessons is to assist your exploration of the Alexander Technique both with and without a teacher present. It provides simple activities for you to practice pausing, noticing, inhibiting, directing, and allowing. The guiding words in each lesson will help you avoid falling back into your habitual ways.

As we grow older, it's easy to lose our stature, balance, and mobility, and the confidence that goes with them. The best thing we can do to stay well as we age is to keep moving - but if we become fearful of falling, we grow reluctant to move. And the less we move, the less we can move. Alexander Technique can make all the difference between limiting ourselves or becoming more capable and self-assured.

Alexander Technique (AT) is a holistic self-care practice that helps people function better, with greater ease, less effort, and better balance and mobility. It is particularly useful in improving the quality and comfort of everything we do while we are upright, as we are during most waking activities.
A wonderful "collateral benefit" of practicing Alexander Technique is that the process promotes a lift in mood. This happens when you experience the upward lift AT helps you create throughout your body. As a result, you can experience increased well-being whenever you choose to put your AT skills to use.
