patterns.
The Alexander Technique is an educational method that helps you become more aware of habitual patterns in movement, posture, and muscular tension, and discover new ways of using your body.
What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a learning method that helps you become more aware of your movement, posture, and tension habits and discover new ways of using and experiencing your body.
Notice Patterns
Many of our movements and reactions happen automatically. During lessons, you learn to become more aware of these movement and tension patterns and better understand when and how they appear in everyday life.
Move with Awareness
Between a habitual reaction and your next movement, there can be space to explore and try different possibilities. The goal is not to adopt one specific “correct” posture.
Explore New Possibilities
Sitting, standing, walking, and other everyday movements can be experienced with greater awareness. The aim is to better understand your own habits and discover new possibilities in the way you move.
Who is the
Alexander Technique for?
The Alexander Technique can be valuable in many different areas of life and work. In my teaching, I focus especially on these three groups.
Performers & Artists
For singers, musicians, actors, and dancers whose work relies on voice, movement, presence, and body awareness. The Alexander Technique offers a way to become more aware of personal habits and explore new possibilities in movement and expression.
Learn moreWork & Office Life
For people who spend long hours sitting, work at a screen, or perform the same movements repeatedly. Lessons can help you become more aware of habitual movement and tension patterns and explore new ways of approaching everyday situations.
Learn moreHealth-Conscious Individuals
For professionals in fields such as physical therapy, yoga, and chiropractic care, as well as anyone who wants to explore movement and body awareness more deeply. The Alexander Technique offers an additional perspective on personal movement and tension habits.
Learn moreWhat happens during a lesson?
Every lesson is individual and usually lasts about 45 to 50 minutes. Together, we look at how you move, which habits may be influencing that movement, and what new possibilities you can explore.
Define your focus
At the beginning, we look together at what you would like to focus on during the lesson and which movements or habits feel especially relevant at that moment.
Sitting, standing, and moving
We often work with simple everyday movements, such as sitting, standing up, standing, or walking, often using a chair as a practical starting point.
Notice and explore
Through verbal guidance and gentle hands-on guidance, I help you become more aware of familiar movement and tension patterns and explore new possibilities.
Release unnecessary tension
Part of the lesson may also take place lying on your back. This creates space to notice unnecessary patterns of tension more clearly and gradually begin to let them go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to common questions about the method, the lessons, and what you can learn from them.
What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a learning method that helps you become more aware of unhelpful habits in posture and movement, understand them, and gradually learn new ways of responding.
What can I learn through the Alexander Technique?
You learn to recognize familiar patterns of posture, movement, and tension more clearly. This can help you notice unnecessary tension and explore new possibilities for movement and coordination.
What happens during a lesson?
Lessons combine verbal guidance with gentle hands-on guidance. The work often begins with simple movements such as sitting, standing up, and standing. Part of the lesson may also take place while lying comfortably on your back.
Is the Alexander Technique a therapy or massage?
No. The Alexander Technique is a learning method, not a therapy or massage. It also does not involve medication or medical treatment.
Can I use what I learn in everyday life?
Yes. An important part of the learning process is becoming increasingly able to recognize your own habits and apply what you have learned to everyday movements outside of lessons.
What does research say about chronic back pain?
A study published in the British Medical Journal by researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Southampton examined the Alexander Technique in people with chronic or recurring back pain. In particular, 24 individual lessons were associated with positive results in both days of pain and limitations in everyday activities, even one year later.
