I teach private lessons in

• Alexander Technique

Jeanne with student

Lessons are 45 minutes in length.  For most of this time, we will focus on the acts of sitting and standing.  Most of us repeat these movements daily without any conscious thought.  With my guidance, the student learns to be aware of themselves in these basic activities, and to choose an overall elastic response to gravity.  The skill of choosing this response can apply to any activity, and will improve overall co-ordination in any activity.

During a lesson, students will also participate in semi-supine table work by observing how directly their thinking affects their entire neuro-muscular  experience.

Students who wear non-restrictive, comfortable clothing will be most at ease.  Any tight pants or skirts that restrict movement of the legs could interfere.

Single lesson: $65
Five lessons: $300
Ten lessons: $550

I teach private lessons every day except Wednesday and Sunday.  My first lesson typically begins at 8am, and my last lesson at 5:30pm, except on Saturdays when my last lesson begins at 2pm.

I require 48 hours cancellation/change of lesson time notice. I am generally booked 3-6 months in advance, but I do have an active cancellation/waiting list. I do not accept insurance or credit cards.

I do not accept insurance coverage.

I have been teaching the technique since 1987.  I am certified by the American Society for the Alexander Technique, and currently serve as Chair for the Credentials Review Committee for AmSAT.  I continue to study with various Master Teachers of the Technique, and plan to do so for the rest of my working life.

As of June 2006, I was approved by AmSAT to direct a teacher training course.  For more information, please go to www.activestillness.com
