Alexander Technique Amsterdam: Better Posture and Reduced Tension

From working with Patrick at Smartbody I’m really getting in shape – walking taller, standing straighter, projecting more physical presence – and all by releasing and relaxing.
Tim Gordon – Accountant

After struggling for years with back, shoulder and neck problems, discovering Alexander Technique was like a miracle. Not only has it drastically reduced my pain; I feel now that I know how to deal with pain when it recurs and take the necessary steps to reduce tension and stress on my own.
Francesca de Chatel – Researcher

Alexander Technique lessons with Patrick have been amazing for my well being, posture, and ease of movement. I’ve trained with quite a few Alexander technique teachers but in my opinion Patrick is the clearest and the best.
