In-Person, hands-on lessons are better than virtual lessons

 You will be using your AT skills in the real world—learn them that way

AT lessons that bring us together in real time and a shared, three-dimensional space enable us to use ourselves well as we go about our daily lives—the way swimming lessons, conducted in a pool, stream or ocean, teach us to move easily and safely through water. Virtual swimming lessons wouldn't make sense, and I don't believe virtual AT lessons do either.


I want my students to be able to use their AT skills well, in real life, in everyday activities. To achieve this, in-person, hands-on teaching is essential. And that is the only kind of teaching I do at betterATbeing.


Alexander Technique: Conversations in touch


Learning Alexander Technique is like a conversation directly between two nervous systems. In addition to verbal instructions, 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 pantomime or guessing game.


My hands tell me how the student is doing


In my work as your AT teacher, I rely on my hands, not just my eyes, to help me carefully monitor your use of your Self (your dynamic circuit of mind-body functions, which are inseparable). If I were to teach virtually, relying on a visual assessment alone, I could not find out if you are really learning. I can check your understanding best by observing extraordinarily subtle changes in your muscle tension and release, which happen instantaneously in response to changes in your thinking. Changes in muscle tension are not always visible in a virtual teaching setting.

EXPLORE YOURSELF | How To Learn The Alexander Technique

 Experience Alexander Technique - and yourself

Choose to explore yourself. When you take lessons in Alexander Technique (AT), you do a great deal of experiential learning. And this reveals many surprising facts about you, as you are, versus what you have assumed yourself to be.


Some of what you learn in your AT lessons is informational. For instance, you may learn new things about basic anatomy and body mechanics. But you will likely have other unanticipated and valuable experiential observations about the way your own mind-body system works.  And new experiences open the way for further discovery. 


Expand yourself


Expanding your knowledge about how you function can give you a better understanding of who you are. And this can strongly influence how you relate to the world around you.  Over time, you will also gain greater conscious control over your own responses and behavior, and this gives you greater freedom and influence over your circumstances.


All the skills you develop and the observations you make in the course of this unique learning opportunity can be put to good use. They will inform your choices about how to take care of yourself and how best to interact with your environment, in small ways and great.
