Relax. It's Just Posture.
Centered. Light. Embodied. Grounded. Connected. Resilient.
We use the Alexander Technique to help you cultivate a positive and joyful relationship with your body and how you hold it up.
The Alexander Technique (AT) is a body-based relaxation method that can help you to improve your posture, breathing and coordination. It interrupts patterns of physical tension by giving you exercises you can tap into in the moment when you are feeling stressed, tight, or out of alignment.
By learning simple points of embodied mindfulness, you can coax your body into releasing rather than compressing into any situation and unlock greater potential for presence and performance.

Quietude's studio space. The massage table is used for relaxing lying down work that helps the spine decompress and improves posture and breathing.
In addition to exercises, AT uses a specialized bodywork to help restore your body's sense of proprioception (the subconscious awareness of your body's position, movement, and effort) and train you to stay poised without the strain associated with traditional posture methods. Over time, this new lighter way of using yourself becomes second nature, transforming your way of being in the world.

(n.) a State of Stillness, Calmness, and Tranquility

Relaxing Individual Sessions
Our most personal exploration comes in the form of one-on-one private sessions. Typically these include a strong body work component along with personalized exercises and application to real-life situations. An individual session can help you to prepare for a specific objective or a series of sessions can help you build lasting skill. You can also just come in for some relaxation and to promote ease and wellness in your everyday life! Body work is done on a massage table or in simple stationary forms like sitting and standing and then is taken into everyday activities and practical problem-solving scenarios.
We offer a special ‘Discovery’ session for first time clients to experience AT work for themselves. We then offer coaching packages that give clients access to a series of sessions, or clients can book individual sessions as they wish.
