The First Lesson

In your first Alexander Technique lesson you will be guided through simple
movements of walking, sitting, standing and lying down. Each movement is
broken down to its essence--stripping away undue tensions and
misconceptions. Difficult areas (places where old injuries or habits prevent
fluid movement) are revealed and replaced by conscious, directed movement.
Where once you moved in a tense and protected way, now you move fluidly and
gracefully. This fluidity, in turn, engenders subtle differences in the way
you think and perceive your environment.
Once you can depend on your balance and coordination you will be more
willing to do more, go further and be more bold in your movements. Secure in
your own strength and balance, participation in activities and favorite
sports becomes a pleasure. The success of this process only depends on your
willingness to try it out and apply it to everything you do everyday.
