Alexander Technique with Rachel Bernsen @ Fresh Yoga
About the Workshop
The Alexander Technique & Yoga, A Workshop with Rachel Bernsen, Nationally Certified Teacher, M.AmSAT, ACAT
The Alexander Technique helps me relax and feel more comfortable in my body. I am more at peace in my own body.
-Bohdana Smyrnova, Filmmaker and student of Rachel’s
Bring peace and comfort into your Yoga practice!
The Alexander Technique offers you the means to get the maximum benefit from your asanas. Proven to increase range of motion, the Alexander Technique helps you undo excess tension that gets in the way of effective muscular release (muscles naturally lengthen when we stop tightening them), allowing you to elongate with ease into the pose instead of strain.
Developed over 100 years ago by F.M. Alexander as a way to deal with his own recurring vocal problems, the Alexander Technique is now an effective and widely used self-care method for relief from back and sciatic pain, injury recovery, stress reduction, improved performance skills, and much more.
