What’s unique about the Alexander Technique?
When you take Alexander Technique lessons, you learn a practical technique you can use for the rest of your life during all your daily life activities.
You learn to calm yourself, let go of excess tension, breathe fully and freely, and choose your responses more consciously whenever you want.
You can apply the technique to yoga, sports, computer work, sleeping, exercises, speaking, (performance) anxiety... you name it!

Pedro Raposo, double bass player academy Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
“Maaike is a wonderful teacher and an inspiring person! I have been attending her lessons for about 1 year and my general well being improved immensely since then. Thanks to her guidance I also feel closer to reach my full potential while learning and performing as double bass player.“
