The Balance Arts Center offers a variety of group classes taught through the lens of the Alexander Technique. These classes are very focused periods where students dive deeply into their own awareness and practice their fundamental mind-body connection.
Group classes also offer the opportunity to learn through observation as other students change and grow.

Find your balance and center through an extended session on the floor. Work slowly and carefully to build your awareness of your limbs in relation to your back. Focus on your breathing, ease, coordination, and direction during your movements. The class is useful for movement professionals and community members alike who want to improve balance, coordination, and strengthen their movements. Time will be given at the end of each class to integrate what you have learned to standing and walking. Bring your own mat if you prefer.
