The Alexander Technique is a proven, safe, self-care method to stop pain, stress and muscular tension caused by everyday misuse of the body. In this class, learn how our every day movements such as sitting down, standing up, and walking may create unnecessary tension in our bodies. Through increased awareness and occasional gentle hands-on guidance from the teacher, we create the possibility for change.

Beth Robinson is a certified Alexander Technique Teacher. She received her training at the Montreal School of the Alexander Technique. A member of the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT), and Chair of the Committee for Alexander Technique in the Performing Arts, Beth has worked individually with musicians, actors, dancers and athletes, and pregnant women. She also taught the Alexander Technique in the Theater and Dance Department at SUNY Potsdam for seventeen years.
