Alexander Technique is a physical movement discipline with a focus on self-perception of movement. It is most often taught by hands-on coaching and by convincing participants of the value of physical poise. What makes it unique is its lack of preset exercises; any movement can be used to demonstrate its principles.
Historically taught in private lessons, its principles have also been adapted to be taught in groups, often using short individual lessons which, in turn, act as examples to the rest of the class.
The Technique takes its name from F. Matthias Alexander, who first formulated its principles between 1890 and 1900. The Alexander Technique is claimed to alleviate pain, promote rehabilitation, improve breathing, and decrease stage fright, as well as improve other conditions related to overcompensation.
