The Alexander Technique will help you better understand how your body is structured. It will enable you to move and speak more efficiently with less strain on muscles and joints.  It is an elegant and non-judgmental technique that encourages you to work on job-related, athletic or fitness, and performance skills as you improve the way you use your body in everyday activities. The Alexander Technique is body work that becomes an integral part of your life.

Alexander lessons begin with improving simple activities such as walking, sitting and standing, and picking up objects. As you become more familiar with the technique, Juhl will work with you to improve more complex activities.  Learning the Alexander Technique is a partnership between teacher and student. The teacher uses gentle hands on guidance and student and teacher engage in conversation about ways to improve movement.

The Alexander Technique is a very effective way to improve the ways you approach job-related activities such as sitting at a computer for long periods of time or performing repetitive activities necessary for clerical or manual labor.  Actors and singers can improve and maintain their voices through more efficient breathing and sound production using the technique. Instrumentalists and conductors can improve complex and delicate movement for greater ease and flexibility and improved musicality. Athletes and dancers can maximize performance and minimize pain and injury through strategizing movement practices that require less impact and muscular tension.  Importantly, the technique can help anyone perform simple everyday activities like picking up objects, writing with a pen or pencil, or driving with ease and efficiency.
