Question:
I saw something described as the Alexander Techniques and the inquiry was how to get insurance coverage or something like that. Just what is Alexander Techniques?
Can anyone give me suggestion or source of information to find out.?I've searched this but find not much. So I want to ask you some advice.
Answer:
Alexander Technique is a practice and philosophy of body mechanics... it's used at Julliard (as part of their training for actors) to teach more 'natural', non-injurious postures and ways of holding/moving one's body.
It's not a treatment or an exercise regime, though (not at all like Tai Chi) -- it's more a learned state of conscious relaxation and of un-learning bad body mechanics.
Locally to me (Boston, MA) it's taught by independent instructors and at both community education and holistic health centers (including the Brookline Center for Adult Education and Interface [Cambridge, MA]).
