In stillness, there is movement, and in movement—stillness.
      Our thoughts, feelings and intentions play essential roles in the ongoing dynamics of upright support upon which every breath and movement depend. Action is born of intention.
 
    The Alexander Technique is a mind-body practice that harmonizes how we move, breathe and support ourselves and others. It clarifies and economizes neuro-muscular patterns.
