The Alexander Technique for Human Performance
THE FREEDOM TO BE YOUR BEST SELF
At Risk and Resilience, we are committed to helping people meet their edge with courage and compassion. Through the principles of the Alexander Technique, we help clients fail better and spring back, so that they can more easily take risks in their work.
WHAT IS THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE?
The Alexander Technique (AT) is a transformative educational modality that helps you do what ever you do with more freedom and less tension. By working with a highly trained AT instructor, you can learn to release unwanted habitual psycho-physical and emotional patterns, reduce/eliminate strain, find better balance and coordination, boost energy and wellness, and enhance performance.
WHO TAKES OUR WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES?
We work with professional and aspiring performers, artists and entrepreneurs, athletes, CEO's and everyday folks. Anyone looking to live more freely and fully can take advantage of the Alexander Technique's unique principles to unlock their potential.
