Renée Allen

I can no longer imagine my life without the Alexander technique.  AT dissipated my headaches, improved my posture, changed the way I walk, made my limbs graceful by lending lightness and strength to my movements, gave a new dimension to my Yoga practice, bestowed my voice with resonance, enhanced my concentration, dissolved my stage fright, deepened and calmed my breath. Alexander technique provided more joy and security to my profession as a horn player, augmented my creative power, improved the contact to my intuition and trust in my capabilities. And still there are more discoveries to be made, on all possible levels.
