Our habits feel natural to us, even if they are bad ones. Lessons help us learn to recognize and understand poor habits we are frequently unaware of. Without correction, these poor habits can lead to back pain, muscle fatigue, unbalanced development, and many other problems. Over a lifetime these habits and their effects can build up to cause chronic and even debilitating problems. With lessons in the Alexander Technique, we learn to stop these habits and choose to function in a more positive, productive, and healthy way.

Lessons last 45-50 minutes, and consist of (non-manipulative) hands-on guidance and verbal instruction in basic everyday movement. We will spend about half of the lesson working with a chair going through motions of sitting, standing, walking, turning, and various points of balance. The other half will be spent laying in active rest on a bodywork table while I work to align your entire body.

After a course of several lessons, when a student has acquired a basic understanding of the principles of the Alexander Technique, instruction is also applied to students' lives and activities. We can address pre-existing injury and pain, playing a musical instrument, work-related movement requirements, and more, based on your needs.

I offer a complimentary introductory lesson for first-time students.

Single Lesson:  $50

5 lesson series:  $225
10 lesson series:  $400

Student Rates: I offer discounted rates to students and those in demonstrable financial need.

I accept cash and checks. I do not accept insurance or bill insurance companies, but in some cases you may be able to obtain reimbursement if you wish to try.

Students should wear anything they feel comfortable and able to move in, ideally a shirt and comfortable pants. Skirts and tight pants are manageable, but not optimal.
