Private Alexander Technique Lessons
My goal as your teacher is to guide you in building a sustainable and empowered relationship to your body, mind & nervous system, that allows you to move through life’s triumphs & challenges with embodied resilience.
In a private lesson I’ll take the time to get to know you and your goals- Maybe you need help recovering from a surgery,* managing hyper-mobility, or releasing chronic tension. Perhaps you have scoliosis, or are pregnant or recovering from birth. Perhaps you are an artist looking to release excess tension in your work in order to allow for more vulnerability, sustainability, and power.
Get out of pain so you can do what you love ❤️
You'll learn how to use your body in a way that cooperates with your structure, to avoid wear-and-tear on your joints and muscles. You’ll gain more awareness of anatomical mapping, a greater sense of pleasure in motion, and methods of self-care. Lessons combine guided bodywork, exercises, applied anatomy, somatic inquiry, and an array of resources firmly rooted in the Alexander Technique and drawing from Developmental Movement, Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal theory to address your unique goals.
In person, hands-on guidance and support is offered, including work on the table.
Lessons are currently happening on Zoom and in person in Northampton, Massachusetts, and once monthly in NYC.
*Alexander Technique is not a replacement for physical therapy, but is an excellent supplement
*Somatic Experiencing® is not a replacement for psychotherapy, but it is an excellent supplement “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.”
“Such an amazing class from so many angles ❤️🌱💛🌧🌞💞 thanks friend. Really watered my soul. it was so fun to have so many different modalities connected, felt like it acknowledged the whole human in a really full way. And prepared me perfectly for having to do a monologue that I’d read twice in class right after. Wouldn’t have felt safe without the tools and set up you gave ❤️ ”
“I particularly love the beautiful sense of discovery and joy in each lesson, and the fact that each lesson always feels like its own unique journey! Tracy creates a really safe space for learning and growth and creativity, and she’ll always sense exactly where my energy is living on a given day and work with me from there.
She’s also super super brilliant and knowledgable and clearly loves this work and the opportunity to share it with her students, so her enthusiasm is wonderfully contagious! this work feels like it opens up so much space for new possibilities! ”
