ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE ALAMEDA
The Alexander Technique offers a practical method for learning skills to ease tension in the body, overcome injury and rediscover ease of movement. The Technique provides the means to restore the good posture, balance and poise that we were all naturally born with.
The Alexander Technique was developed by Frederick M. Alexander more than one hundred years ago and has helped millions of people across the world to overcome physical challenges and achieve optimal health. The Technique teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity, giving you more energy for all your activities. It can be applied to sitting, lying down, standing, walking, lifting, and other daily activities.
The Technique is taught in a private lesson format in which a teacher uses gentle, hands-on guidance combined with verbal instructions. It is not a series of treatments or exercises, but rather a reeducation of the mind and body to develop skills that students can use in their own in everyday life.
LENKA FEJT
I grew up in the Czech Republic and came to the United States in the 1980s. I worked in the hospitality industry for over twenty years, mostly as a professional hotel concierge. When I was introduced to the Alexander Technique, I suffered from chronic neck and back pain. The Technique has not only helped me recover from the limitations of my injuries, it has taught me how to improve the way I carry myself and use my body. As a certified Alexander Technique teacher and a member of the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT) living in the East Bay, I am very enthusiastic about passing on my knowledge and skills so that others can move through their lives with expanded ease, more enjoyment and freedom from pain.
Besides my private practice I also lecture frequently at introductory workshops on the Alexander Technique at the Alameda Adult School, Alameda Recreation and Parks Department and throughout the Bay Area.
My husband and I live in Alameda, trying to keep up with our two energetic and loveable teenaged sons. We are very proud of our daughter, who travels the world as a Merchant Marine Engineer – the first-generation sailor in our family.
