How We Move Matters
We move to get things done, to express ourselves, to interact and respond. The manner with which we move effects everything we do.

How We Think Is How We Move Awareness and attention are essential to action. How we move shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Posture is a three dimensional motion. Your posture reveals who you are and what you are thinking. Good posture leads to good health and a strong self-image

Poise is never hurried, even at a fast pace. Poise is attained through mind and body unity, when you attend to the process of your actions rather than the end point. Through poise you can create profound and lasting change.

Breath is affected by tension, stress and movement habits. With dynamic posture and poise, breathing is free and full. Breathing freely brings liveliness, expression and creativity.

The Alexander Technique is a way to improve how we move. Since its development over 100 years ago, many people have used this technique to change postural habits, avoid strain and recuperate from injuries. Actors, dancers and musicians rely on it to enhance their skill and performance levels. Anyone who uses a computer will find it helps alleviate common shoulder pain and prevents Repetitive Stress Injuries.

“By simple suggestion Belinda’s intuitive coaching has helped me relax the muscles I would unnecessarily tense and engage the muscles I had completely forgotten about thus helping me walk taller with greater ease and confidence.”

The Alexander Technique is a process for coordinating thought and action
Whether or not we are aware of it, we make choices about how we move. Letting go of unnecessary tension brings us into balance and improves the precision of performing even common tasks.

“Working with Belinda has been epiphanic for me. Her approach to Alexander Technique is a different paradigm for being in your body—a way to be fully present and at ease with yourself. She has helped me to significantly reduce physical pain in my neck, jaw, back and shoulders. Also, through developing awareness of energetic constriction and alignment, she has guided me to many important insights about my life.”

F.M. Alexander, The Originator
F. M. Alexander (1869-1955) began his work as a young actor whose hoarse voice was ruining his career. The failure of medical treatment prompted him to begin a thorough process of self-study and experimentation in order to identify the root of his problems. By observing what he did with his body while reciting, he discovered and developed a method for changing his habits. Alexander recognized the unified self and understood that the key to change lay in learning to stop doing harm to one’s natural integration. He restored his speaking voice, rescued his performance career and became an internationally famous teacher. Over 100 years later, his method is valued worldwide for self-care and performance enhancement.
