The Alexander Technique
Removes the “brakes” on runner’s body making the runner lighter, faster, and freer
- Allows the runner to do more by doing less
- Teaches runners the proper technique for “running tall”
- Prevents injury to the knees and other joints and facilitates recovery
- Improves breathing and energy levels
- Places the focus on the means rather than the end, so runners achieve their goals efficiently without strain
