Move Well. Live Better.
Be more yourself.
The Alexander Technique is practised by people worldwide to enjoy freedom of movement, enhance performance and reduce stress and pain.
Welcome to the home of the Alexander Technique Teachers' Society of Aotearoa New Zealand
You may have heard about the Alexander Technique from someone who experienced profound change in their life – greater ease, less pain, a more balanced way of moving through the world, subtle shifts which raised performance to the next level. Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you found us.
The Alexander Technique can affect different parts of life in ways people don’t always expect. For some it may be working at a computer without pain, for others it may be developing their singing voice, or supporting ease of movement as they get older, for others still it may be a way out of overwhelm and stress.
Whatever your life situation, Alexander Technique has something to offer.

Move with Ease
The human body is designed to move. We all have the potential to increase our efficiency of movement and improve our coordination. Whether you want to hone an athletic skill, recover from surgery or injury, or just feel more comfortable in your body, AT can set you on a path to a freer, more natural way of moving that you can take into everything you do.

Perform with Presence
There’s a certain quality to a memorable performance that we all recognise – a sense of presence and depth of connection that creates a meaningful experience for performer and audience alike. AT helps performers find it, and has been in the curriculum of drama, music and dance colleges internationally for decades.

Embody Mindfulness
Mind and body are deeply and intricately connected – the way we think affects the way we feel. By anchoring awareness in the everyday, AT enables you to regulate your nervous system and to bring about subtle changes in its responses, leaving you feeling calmer and more confident whatever the day may bring.

What is the Alexander Technique?
Alexander Technique empowers us to make meaningful and lasting changes in our lives. It is an educational method that has profound therapeutic benefits. It teaches awareness of balance, posture and coordination, and shows you how to change coordination to enjoy more ease and less pain. It can also support you to freer breathing, better digestion, more alertness and confidence, richer vocal resonance and an inner calm.
Taught by our qualified teachers in one-on-one lessons, in groups or online, AT can meet you wherever you are, however you are.
There's science behind the ease.
Research suggests it results in improved movement, balance and overall wellbeing. This video draws on three randomised controlled trials to explain what's actually happening and why the results are so lasting.
