People often ask me what benefits I’ve seen myself after being a student (and now a teacher) of this work for years. The list of positives are quite long and I’ve consistently found that to be a difficult question to answer. However, very recently I came up with a succinct answer to this question: My thinking and my movement are less constrained and less rigid than before, and I now have a greater sense of flexibility which allows for innumerable possibilities. Whether that be in acting, singing, playing guitar, lifting weights, or even managing stressful situations, I now have a reliable and reasoned process which offers me more ease and freedom than I previously thought would be possible.
While many students experience positive changes such as reduced pain, less tension, and overall better well-being, the Alexander Technique is not a form of therapy or a replacement for medical treatment. It is an educational approach focused on developing awareness and choice. Through this process, students learn to use their thinking and reasoning abilities to improve how they move and function.
The History of Alexander Technique"I’ve had the pleasure of participating in several ITM/Alexander Technique workshops led by Brian, and each one was a game-changer. As a working actor since childhood, I found the methodology both fascinating and deeply effective—retraining the body to move with ease, awareness, and intention. Brian’s approach helped me reconnect with my physical self, whether I was simply sitting or delivering a monologue. His guidance is gentle, intuitive, and grounded in deep expertise. Whether you’re an actor, athlete, or just someone curious about moving through life with more freedom and poise, I can’t recommend Brian—or this work—highly enough. Do yourself a favor and sign up today."
"Brian's ITM Alexander Technique teaching is invaluable for anyone looking to improve their relationship with their body, overall thinking, and general fulfillment in life. It has a universal application toward any discipline or skillset, and its effects only compound with each successive lesson. Brian is an insightful and empathetic teacher who gracefully guides students to deeply profound realizations. I guarantee his teachings will carry powerful lingering effects for you well beyond the session time."
"I feel so lucky to have the privilege of being Brian's student! Not only for acting purposes, but the tools I learned from him can be applied to so many other aspects of my life. I often think about his teachings no matter what I'm doing, whether on set or while singing and driving in my car! I can be a bit anxious and nervous, but his welcoming and calm manner put me at ease. It's been eye-opening to learn (or perhaps re-learn) how the poise of my head can affect the rest of how my body moves. I highly recommend Brian's teachings no matter what phase in life you are! "
"Brian is an attentive, caring, and knowledgeable teacher. His lessons have provided me newfound insights and awareness about my body, mind, and the connection between them. In doing so, he has expanded my acting ability. More importantly, he has empowered me in the use of self."
