Who is the best Alexander Technique teacher in New York City?

No one. There is no best Alexander Technique teacher in NYC, best Alexander Technique teacher in LA, or anywhere else. The efficacy of Alexander Technique lessons depends upon the needs and goals of the Alexander Technique student, how often the student applies the Alexander Technique principles, the qualifications and experience of the teacher, the personality combination of the student and teacher, and other mysterious variables.

Alexander Technique teachers come in all shapes, sizes, genders, ages, talents, personalities, specialties, and ways of connecting. Some Alexander Technique teachers project a serious, scholarly tone, using their sense of humor sparingly. Others are more playful, and humor is an integral part of the lesson. Some teachers are better suited for people new to the Alexander Technique, as they have a talent for making complicated concepts simple. Some teachers specialize in teaching other Alexander Technique teachers or advanced, experienced Alexander students.

Students’ personalities are highly individual, and people have different learning styles. There are AT students whose optimal learning style is visual, others aural, still others respond best kinesthetically. Alexander Technique teachers need to determine how their students learn best, adjust if they can, and direct the student to another Alexander teacher when appropriate.

Alexander Technique teachers help their students become their own Alexander teacher. Ultimately it is the student who learns the principles, applies them, and teaches themselves during the course of their everyday lives. So, Alexander Technique teachers and students, who is the best Alexander Technique teacher in New York City or anywhere else? You are!
