Exploring the Essential Features of “Michael Ashcroft – Fundamentals of Alexander Technique”

Fundamentals of Alexander Technique: learn to get out of your own way

Alexander Technique frees you from patterns that keep you stuck

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Not Viktor Frankl, actually

Alexander Technique is an embodied, real-world mindfulness practice that doesn’t involve sitting on a cushion. It can help you notice, expand and play within that space between stimulus and response.

This is valuable because the entire scope of human experience can be enhanced by being able to make new choices in response to things that happen in your internal and external worlds.

Alexander Technique gives you conscious control over your awareness and from there more agency in any aspect of your life, whether it’s how you move, how you think, how you perform, how you speak, how you relate to others or how you relate to yourself.

Alexander Technique gives you effortless high performance

You know the experience of beginners’ luck, where you’re feeling playful, not trying hard to do well, and your body just does the thing perfectly? That’s what practicing Alexander Technique can give you.

If you’re an athlete or performer, you’ll be familiar with the experience of performance anxiety, or ‘choking’. Under pressure you overthink, try too hard and get in your own way. Your performance suffers.

The way out is not to try even harder, but to notice and stop doing all the things that are interfering with your natural abilities.

Alexander Technique gets you back in the zone, consciously and consistently.
