F. Matthias Alexander

F. Matthias Alexander was an Australian educator who developed a technique called the Alexander Technique, focusing on improving posture, movement, and overall body awareness. He believed many physical problems stem from habitual tension and poor alignment, often caused by unconscious habits or stress. Through gentle, mindful practice, individuals learn to release unnecessary tension, improve coordination, and move more efficiently. His approach is used by performers, athletes, and anyone seeking to enhance their body use and reduce discomfort. Alexander’s work emphasizes conscious control over habits to promote better health and ease in everyday activities.
