An introduction of the Alexander Technique in the workplace is an invaluable experience. It provides specific and practical information about how to move, work and feel better in any activity. Individuals can continue to work with and benefit from the Technique on their own at anytime, improving their overall quality of life and work.

The Alexander Technique can be used to improve the ease and comfort of everyday activities like commuting or working at a computer as well while giving presentations and in meetings to facilitate problem solving, constructive communication, productivity and relief from stress.

In most cases, the more "work" (in terms of muscular effort) we do, the less effective we are. We are less efficient and more bound up in tension. The very techniques that allow us to move, sit and stand more freely and effortlessly are also the strategies that will quiet our nervous systems, decrease anxiety, facilitate better learning and memory, and increase clear thinking. Used by actors, singers, public speakers professional athletes and Nobel Laureates, the Alexander Technique is the process of becoming more effective with less effort.
