• The Alexander Technique is a unique discipline that focuses on how everyday movements such as sitting down, standing up, and walking may create unnecessary tension in your body. In this introductory class for teens and adults, students will discover how to undo habits that may lead to strain and stress. The Alexander Technique can improve your balance, coordination, lightness of movement, and mobility through increasing self-awareness of how our bodies move. Beth Robinson will teach this technique on Wednesdays, Aug. 18, 25 & Sept. 1, 8 from 6:45-8 p.m. $44 for four classes.
