The Balance Arts Center is where professionals (such as musical, medical, educational, and legal) and community members (people of all ages and from all walks of life) come to increase their awareness in action through the teaching and application of the Alexander Technique.

Students learn to use their mind/body connection in an immediate, effective, and practical way by dropping habits of thinking and moving that interfere with their best coordination and ease. They improve their general coordination and use in specific tasks (sports, dancing, ergonomics, vocal production) as well as address concerns such as backaches; headaches; injury and surgery recovery; Temporal Mandibular Joint Syndrome, Repetitive Stress Injuries; hip, knee and foot pain; and eye strain.

The Balance Arts Center is also pleased to offer materials relating the Alexander Technique to activities such as walking and sitting at your desk.

Come join us in your mind/body movement explorations!

More about the Balance Arts Center...

Principles of the Alexander Technique integrate mind and body awareness in human movement. It is a method that helps restore balance, freedom and ease of movement and improves one's overall mental and physical functioning. It addresses the fundamental and primary core movements we make in all the activities we do. Students participate consciously in learning how to observe their own movement habits and how to make choices that redirect these habits to allow for more awareness and ease in action.

People study the Alexander Technique for many reasons. Often people come to improve and refine their communication skills, sport or art form such as singing, dancing, playing an instrument, golfing, tennis or running. Others come to alleviate their discomfort from physical concerns such as general poor posture, breathing, loss of voice, neck pain, headache, or hip or knee pain. Others come to find their best alignment when recovering form injury or surgery.
