An Alexander Technique Journey

Studying the Alexander Technique is an experience like no other. Most learning takes us systematically from the unknown to the known; the Alexander Technique takes us from what we already know, throws us into the unknown, and teaches us to deal with it.

When we stay centered in the face of the unknown, life opens up. By going inward, we expand. By focusing on ourselves, we can accomplish more. By taking care of ourselves, we take better care of others.
 
Each person's journey is different. The process isn't always easy or comfortable; fundamental change requires courage and commitment. And we never, ever know beforehand where the journey will take us.
 
This blog is one student's lesson-by-lesson account, written in her own words as she steps off from the known into the unknown. I'm grateful to Etta for sharing her experiences with us. I draw inspiration from her voice, and I hope you will, too.
