The Alexander Technique is a way to educate one's self to get out of their own way in any activity
The Elements
Guided Experience
The Principles of the Alexander Technique simply make more sense when paired with a guided, hands-on experience given by a trained teacher.
|
Inhibition
How often have you been asked to not do something? That is Alexander's "inhibition." More specifically, students of the Alexander Technique practice stopping what they want to avoid (i.e. a "bad" habit).
|
Direction
After one successfully stops a "bad" habit, that's when an Alexander Technique will encourage the student to head in a helpful direction within themselves.

If this all seems absurdly vague to you, never fear. It's not that you don't get it, it's that you haven't experienced it yet. This is why a guided experience from a trained Alexander Technique Teacher is so important.
