[@eventide2763]

The first time I had an Alexander Technique lesson I walked out of there feeling about 2 feet taller and much stronger, like my whole upper body was stronger and more supported. Incredible experience. I should go more often but even just having that 1 first lesson changed my life and how i view my body, and that was 10+ years ago!

[@zerahmot1787]

I know a lot of people are here just from the asmr community, but there is a lot of value in practicing these techniques.

[@TaraFinlay]

i think it is silly to assume that the asmr community doesn’t see the value in the technique.

Some people are here just because of the Diana Devitt-Dawson video. She has the best Alexander Technique catch phrases.

The Alexander Technique is just like meditation! It is not about undoing or stopping the tension, but BEING AWARE OF TENSION. The aim is not to undue tension, that is the byproduct. The purpose is to be aware :)

Anyone else noticed that she got more and more relaxed while doing this?

yes she seemed nervous at the start but got more into it

[@mikesiley4897]

@I've seen the Twinkie and the damage done is that you in the corner?

[@theodorevegh6030]

Think about your mother telling you to sit up straight. Telling you to stop slouching. It's good posture and proper lifting techniques so you don't hurt yourself. I would call it something better like "Smart Behavior." LOL

[@theonlycontessa]

Anthony Kingsley thank you. I still remember my first AT session, I felt much taller afterwards. I should have invested in myself then as I’ve shrunk back into myself since. In order to teach, you need to have lived the technique. At 59, and bent over a drawing board most days, I’m a bit long in the tooth to study for 3 years.

[@kingsleepingasmr379]

Slightly confused but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@jackdish6633]

here I just like these videos cause they are relaxing, but how someone has made a career out of "teaching" people how to stand and sit ill never know lolol

[@mp-no9yv]

You're missing the point. Its not about getting people in and out of a chair. He's teaching a quality of movement, and just using chair work as a way of doing it.

[@rubenmanssens]

The Alexander Technique is more than just getting in and out of a chair. Most people who have neck and back aches have them because they get into a habbit of bad posture, mainly tensing up muscles that don't need to be used. Like tensing up your neck and face muscles when you sit or stand. Alexander breaks these habbits by moving you in sertain ways where you don't use those muscles and your body picks that up.

[@theodorevegh6030]

@@AlexanderTechnique33 I guess it's like playing the piano. At first it is so hard to do because there are so many things to think about e.g. notes, volume, speed, words, style, and pauses. Once you practice for ten years or 10,000 hours, you can do it all very skillfully without thinking about it. LOL

Can someone perform this technique on themselves?

I wish I had access to all these hokey things. I'm looking at you Alexander Technique, gem therapy, reiki and most definitely foot reflexology sessions. I'm not sure I believe a single thing from any of them, but they're definitely a relaxing way to spend some time. I think people can use this stuff because if nothing else, it gives one really good vibes.
