The Alexander Technique
Discover how you can work with your body’s natural design for easy balance, posture and movement.
What is Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is both empowering and transformational, a simple self-care tool and an integral framework for living a healthy and fulfilling life.
By taking time to observe and recognise your postural habits, you will begin to see that you have a choice about the way you move, think and respond to daily life. This enables you to bring about significant change in yourself, resulting in improved physical and mental wellbeing and overall professional and personal performance.

Research and Science
Can the Alexander Technique assist people to achieve consistent and reliable health outcomes through education?
