Most people come for lessons in the Technique because they are concerned about their posture, or because they are in pain as a result of occupational activities, accidents or illness and need to learn to sit, stand and walk more comfortably.

​

Teachers of the Alexander Technique show their clients how to prevent harmful habits and generate a better postural pattern based on the coordination of the head, neck and torso.

​

The Alexander Technique has been supported by leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, behavioural science and philosophy over the past century. Clinical studies have shown that the Alexander Technique improves the quality of breathing and posture and also reduces stress responses.
