Anatomy of an (in-person) Alexander Technique Lesson
Hi, how’s it going? Let’s check in…
Hands-on guidance, body-up learning…
Table Work. Recuperation, creating space in the joints, and reinforcing re-patterning…
Discussing further… in this case, shoulder strain…
Observing “Use” and offering some exercises…
Hands on listening, and working with the balance of your whole torso…
Working with developmental movement to re-pattern movement…
Table Work. can also be deeply reintegrating after injury.
Reinforcing balance in the body-mind system.

“AT has been a physically expansive and emotionally resonant conduit to the growth of my inner artist and for the instrument that is my body. Working with Tracy is truly a pleasure and the transition to doing so in an online environment has really felt seamless. I feel like I can ask questions and we can explore those topics intellectually and somatically which leaves me connecting the dots for days after in the best of ways. Through our sessions I really feel like I’ve gained some lifelong tools here that I could not have seen coming. AT redefined the relationship I have with my body, and gave me tools to process my injury from a car accident and move forward. I feel like I’m in the driver’s seat of my body again.”
“Private coaching online with Tracy was such valuable and transformative work. She personalized the sessions based on my individual needs, as well as outsourced specific resources to compliment and optimize the work we were doing. She was invested in helping me achieve the progress I wanted, while making it fun and personable. My mind/body connection and awareness feels completely different from when I started my work with her, couldn’t recommend highly enough!”
*Alexander Technique is not a replacement for physical therapy or Psychotherapy but is an excellent supplement to both. It can help undo blocks at the body level, that opens up space for new possibilities! Teacher Lineage
