picture-11When looking for Alexander Technique lessons in New York City, how would you use the web? Most direct: Alexander Technique NYC. Alexander Technique teachers NYC would work as would Alexander Technique lessons NYC. Alexander Technique classes NYC might lead you to group classes. Taking group Alexander Technique classes may be beneficial, but not if you want more individual time, or have bad back pain or neck pain. The technique is traditionally taught one-to-one because it involves hands-on-time. In fact, I often spend about 15 or 20 minutes of a 45 minute lesson with the person lying (fully clothed) on a massage table. This part of the lesson, called the table lesson, is often where people ‘learn’ to let go of excess tension of which they might be unaware. The lessening of tension leads to pain reduction, and a feeling of well-being. When the student is upright, they often notice a marked improvement of their posture.

A search for “Alexander Technique” would be a way to learn about the technique in general, without searching for a teacher. There are also websites that list Alexander Technique teachers throughout the United States and the world. You could try Alexandertechnique.com., alexandertech.org and acat.org. All three have extensive lists of certified teachers.

Once you meet the teacher, you’ll know pretty quickly if there is ‘chemistry’ between you. See how you feel around the teacher. The Alexander Technique is about helping people, so you want to leave the lesson feeling better than when you came in physically, emotionally and every way possible. You want to feel listened to at the lesson. Although the teacher will be teaching you the principles of the Alexander Technique, you want the teacher to be flexible enough to tailor the lesson just for you. The teacher shouldn’t be concerned with his or her agenda. Don’t be afraid to ask if the teacher is certified, by whom, and how long the teacher has been certified. As with physicians experience counts.
