Alexander technique Amsterdam: Reduced tension and better posture
We teach you healthy, dynamic support in all of your activities. You will feel more poised with less chronic tension.
Your postural system supports everything you do – sitting at a computer, presenting at a meeting, playing a musical instrument, doing sports, and playing with your kids. Ask yourself, are you supporting yourself well or do you have excess tension, poor alignment, and/or instability?
Practicing Alexander technique will reduce harmful habits of tension so that you can stand, sit, and move with more freedom, stability, and confidence. Along the way we can address habitual patterns that are the source of chronic pain such as back and neck pain or RSI.

Many people think that they are supposed to go through life feeling stiff and clumsy. In fact, just the opposite is true. We are designed to move with poise and grace. This fact guides my teaching style. My goal is to give my students the tools they need to discover this natural coordination. (Patrick)
I very much recommend Alexander lessons with Patrick to anyone who wants to explore how their body can be more free and easy to live with.
