Alexander Technique SF Bay Area — Local services in Walnut Creek

I came to Lena because of a recurring issue with my left knee. I had an idea that, while yes there was an injury, I also needed to address my habitual way of walking though the world in order to aide my healing process. Lena was amazing. She let me move through the studio and was very observant and attentive to my issues. She gave a very gentle guidance while explaining how each guided move would benefit me overall. She gives practical exercises to take home so that you can continue the healing and alignment process on your own. Lena allowed me to participate in my growth through the technique by fusing her knowledge of anatomy with my knowledge of how I move my body day to day. I was with her for a week and felt a vast difference after the first session. She is even adept at giving the lessons online, enhancing my awareness of how I hold my posture at work and home. If you have had a joint injury or just suffer from aches, soreness and dull pain; Alexander Technique with Lena is a beneficial path to your...

I was a little apprehensive about trying Alexander Technique but I was struggling with balancing things in my life, including being a new father. I was feeling overwhelmed and had never dealt with previous tragic events in my life. I decided to try it, mainly out of desperation. I really wasn’t convinced it would help. I was wrong. Lena was more than helpful. I feel my life has drastically changed for the better with her help. Now I recognize my anxiety and how it affects my body. I also know how to cope with it and help my body to relax when it comes up. My apprehension turned to complete faith in Lena and Alexander Technique. The gratitude I feel toward Lena for all her help cannot be put into words. I think often people are very closed-minded about new things including myself, but if you’re even thinking about trying Alexander Technique, Lena is the right person for the job! I will continue to receive lessons from Lena as time goes on. Bottom...

Working with Lena Hart has changed my life. She is not only one of the greatest acting teacher/coaches I've ever met but more than that, her lessons in the Alexander Technique have helped me so much in my day to day life. I used to be really tight in my body and carry around a lot of tension in my neck. Since working with Lena, I feel so much looser and more relaxed in my body, which has made me a better actor more open to letting my scene partner affect me and it has also really helped me as a person. I feel free in my body now rather than a prisoner trapped inside of it. Lena is such an amazing teacher, she is so kind, intelligent and funny and just one of my all around favorite human beings. I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with her and I hope that I get to work with her forever. I couldn't recommend Lena more, both for actors and non...
