AGE GRACEFULLY | ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE NYC FOR MOBILITY

 Keep moving, keep growing

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.

Know your way around

Alexander Technique promotes healthful aging by helping us continue to stay upright and active over time. Alexander lessons awaken and train our proprioception – our understanding of where we are in space. A remarkable study captured on video shows what a big difference AT can make in how we navigate our surroundings to maintain a healthy stance, gait and perspective on our own abilities. And AT can help us meet the challenges of activity with good judgment and self-assurance.

WHY IN-PERSON, HANDS-ON LESSONS ARE BETTER | Alexander Technique Training

 My hands tell me how the student is doing

Virtual lessons won't work for me. As your teacher, I rely on my hands, not just my eyes, to help me carefully monitor how you are using the inseparable mind-body unit we call your Self. I can't find out what I need to know by relying on a visual assessment alone. This is because the use, or misuse, of your Self is expressed through extraordinarily subtle changes in muscle tension and release, which are discernable via touch, but often virtually invisible.

AT experience: beyond words and visuals

Learning Alexander Technique is like a conversation directly between two nervous systems. So, although I do give verbal instructions in my lessons, much of the experiential knowledge I convey to students reaches them via the primary language of Alexander Technique: touch. Without touch, crucial information would be missing in our communications, reducing the teaching and learning process to a kind of guessing game.

LIFT YOUR SPIRIT | Lift Your Voice With Alexander Technique

Beyond better functioning

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.

Mindfulness in activity

Alexander Technique helps you cultivate an alert yet calm quality of attention akin to Zen mindfulness. You become aware that you are creating and guiding your own experience in the moment. In that moment, you can take charge of yourself and thoughtfully navigate the world around you.  

Gentle wishes

 When we practice AT, we repeatedly articulate our directions to ourselves to expand: "I am asking my neck to be free, my head to go forward and up, my torso to lengthen and widen, and my limbs to come out of my torso." These directions are expressed as gentle wishes, not forceful commands. We request these changes with the intention to help ourselves. And the process is a self-compassionate one.

This is true, also, of the nonjudgmental self-observation that we do with AT. We are seeing ourselves clearly, correcting but not reproaching ourselves. So it is not surprising that the practice can naturally create a lift in mood, along with the relief from self constriction that accompanies AT. As a Western learning method with an Eastern affect, Alexander Technique has a dual identity. Fundamentally, it is practical. It helps with real-world difficulties. And it was not originally intended by its inventor, F.M. Alexander, to transmit spiritual values. But nonetheless, it sets up a conversation with our Selves that is self-caring and mindful.
