This is a question that I get every now and then, especially from professional musician students in conservatories. It is not surprising, as many people find the Alexander Technique (AT) calming and relaxing, making the connection to sleep is logical.

The Alexander Technique Story Project is a piece of qualitative research examining the impact of Alexander Technique (AT) lessons on participants’ psychosocial identity.

Many people say that the AT is about posture. I find the the word 'posture' is often loaded with feelings of guilt , beliefs of what is needed for 'good' posture and fears for 'bad' posture.

Frederick Matthias Alexander, the man behind the Alexander Technique said:

“When you stop doing the wrong thing the right thing does itself.”
