Alexander Technique is recognized as a valuable resource to performing artists, athletes, and people with chronic or incidental pain.

The Alexander Technique is based on the discoveries of F.M. Alexander (1869-1955), an Australian actor who suffered from chronic hoarseness and respiratory ailments. He spent years studying his habitual patterns and developed a technique which solved his problem, and led to extensive discoveries about how we function. Alexander went on to help many people in a wide range of fields. He established a teaching center in London, and taught in New York and Boston as well.

The Alexander Technique helps us let go of acquired unhelpful habits and reactions, allowing us to function more in harmony with our natural design. Learning Alexander Technique leads to greater coordination and ease.

Early students and advocates of F. M. Alexander include the philosopher John Dewey, the writer Aldous Huxley, the Nobel prize winner Nikolaas Tinbergen, and today, Dame Judy Dench, William Hurt, Thomas Hampson, Paul McCartney, and Lupita Nyong'o, to name a few.

Today there are thousands of Alexander Technique teachers in most parts of the world.
