The Alexander Technique is a self-help technique which helps us to become more aware of our habits of balance, posture and movement, and of how we react to life. It helps us to prevent tension and strain, both physical and mental. Alexander technique may help with undue muscular tension and pain (back, shoulder, neck etc), anxiety, stress, breathing difficulties, voice problems, prevent injuries. It helps also performers to reduce their tensions and performance anxieties. It is used also for pregnant women to prepare for the birth of their child. In the 8-week course we will learn little bit of theory and elementary anatomy. Most of the course is practical. We will learn how to mentally direct our bodies to lengthen and widen and how to observe our reactions to life.

We will learn how to do
