Alexander Technique Amsterdam: Better Posture and Reduced Tension
Achieve optimal body alignment and let go of excess tension and chronic pain.
How you support yourself affects everything you do – sitting at a computer, presenting at a meeting, performing, working out, playing sports, playing with your kids – everything. Are you taking care of your posture or do you have excess tension, poor alignment or instability?
Learn to let go of harmful postural habits and chronic pain and you will stand, sit, and move with more freedom, stability, and confidence.

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.
