What is the Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique teaches how to become aware of one's habitual reactions, and how to change them. The Alexander Technique is not a cure or a treatment, it is a teaching through which the student can learn to change and improve his functioning. This has curative properties as a by-product. The Alexander technique can be described as a technique for developing constructive awareness. Awareness of what is going on inside and outside ourselves - while it is going on, and helping us to improve the way we handle ourselves in any situation.
