The application of the Alexander Technique to yoga is gentle, effective
and enjoyable! It invites the stretch rather than imposes it; it helps bring
your awareness to the journey of the movement rather than the end posture
itself; we develop attentive awareness with movement and breathing rather than
putting stress on the body to achieve the posture. These principles of
inviting, increasing awareness and attending to the journey are at the heart of
the Alexander Technique bringing natural balance and effortless poise.
The Technique
works on reawakening postural muscles and releasing the movement muscles,
redefining stretching to become effortless and integrated. As you begin to
learn this process you also gain the experience of being mindful, present and connected, which is what we really want from our yoga practice!
