Alexander Technique
WHY LEARN THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE
About Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a practical method for improving posture, movement, and body awareness. It helps you release tension, move with ease, and feel more present in daily life. Whether you’re in pain, under stress, or simply curious, it offers tools to feel better and move through life more freely.
In a lesson, you’ll explore everyday movements—like sitting, standing, walking, or breathing—in a new light. With gentle hands-on and verbal guidance, you’ll begin to notice and let go of tension you didn’t realize you were holding. The results can be subtle but powerful, often leading to lasting improvements in how you feel and function.
I came to Benjamin for help with chronic back pain that no amount of stretching or exercise seemed to fix. From the very first lesson, I started to notice small but powerful changes. He helped me become aware of how my posture and movement habits were contributing to the discomfort. With his gentle, thoughtful guidance, I’ve learned how to move with less effort and more awareness, and my back pain has significantly improved. What I appreciate most is that this isn’t a quick fix or a set of exercises, it’s a whole new way of relating to my body. I feel more comfortable, confident, and in control. If you’re dealing with persistent pain, I highly recommend giving lessons with Benjamin a try. It’s made a real difference in my daily life!

As a professional musician, I was struggling with pain and performance anxiety that were starting to affect both my playing and my confidence. Working with Benjamin has been a game-changer. His understanding of the physical and mental demands of performing made me feel immediately understood and supported. Through the Alexander Technique, I’ve learned how to release tension, play with more ease, and stay grounded under pressure. The pain that once felt constant has eased significantly, and I feel more connected to both my body and my music. Benjamin’s calm, thoughtful teaching style creates a space where real change can happen. I only wish I had started lessons sooner. If you’re a musician dealing with similar challenges, I can’t recommend him enough.

I struggled for years with performance anxiety and difficulty projecting my voice without strain. But, working with Benjamin through the Alexander Technique has completely changed how I approach my craft as an actor. His calm, intuitive teaching helped me become aware of habits I didn’t even realize were holding me back. I’ve learned how to stay grounded, breathe more freely, and speak with clarity and confidence. My anxiety hasn’t disappeared overnight, but I now have tools to manage it and feel more present on stage. Benjamin creates a supportive, judgment-free space where you can truly explore and grow, reaching your potential.
-Emma
Before working with Benjamin, I had no idea how much tension I was unconsciously carrying in my body. His approach is calm, insightful, and incredibly supportive. Each lesson feels like a reset—he helps you tune into the small, everyday patterns that affect how you move, breathe, and even think. I’ve noticed real improvements in how I feel, both physically and mentally. I’m more grounded, present, and comfortable in my own body. If you’re even a little curious about the Alexander Technique, I highly recommend working with Benjamin. He creates a space that’s welcoming, empowering, and genuinely transformative!

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Content of a session
Your first Alexander Technique lesson is a gentle, one on one exploration of how you move and carry yourself. There’s no need to prepare or perform—just come as you are. You’ll chat briefly about your goals, then explore simple everyday movements like sitting, standing, or walking, with calm, hands-on guidance to help you notice and release tension. You might also lie down fully clothed in a comfortable, supported position to experience deep rest and alignment. The atmosphere is relaxed and non-judgmental, focused on curiosity and observation. Most people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to their body. It’s a quiet but powerful first step toward moving through life with greater ease, balance, and freedom.
