/Alexander Technique
A movement technique developed by Australian actor, F.M. Alexander in the late 19th century. Alexander Technique is a method designed to educator, or re-educate, people on physical ‘habits’ which limit movement, and help correct these in order to help the body move with ease, freedom and balance.
An important element of the Alexander Technique is the way thoughts influence movement and how ideas can be expressed in movement, e.g. by thinking about loosening a muscle it will loosen.
