The Alexander Technique...in a nutshell

The Alexander Technique will help you to learn how to use your body in everyday activities with more ease and less pain and tension.



Through private lessons, I will work with you on how to perform common activities such as sitting, standing, walking, bending with improved body use and coordination. We can also work on applying the work to hobbies, sports, performance, and computer use.



The Technique is not passive like a massage, but is instead a learning process to help you to change unconscious habits which may be interfering with your body and life.

How do I learn the Alexander Technique?

You are an active part of the solution, rather than a passive recipient of a therapy. Through re-evaluating everyday movements, you learn how to overcome body habits that are creating any physical problems you may be experiencing. The result is that you are more conscious of how you are using your body in everyday activites, so that you can function with balance and ease.

It is primarily taught in private one-hour lessons. Kris works with clients as a personal movement coach, assisting students in knowing what is helpful and what is harmful for the body. Kris helps students to make smart choices for their bodies, so that pain, stress, and tension are reduced or eliminated. Kris also offers introductory workshops and group classes.
