Change Your Posture, Change Your Life!
"I was introduced to Dominique and the Alexander Technique at a riding (dressage) clinic. Little did I know that it would also change my life!
At the age of six, I was in serious auto accident and by age twelve, I had developed a hunched posture and a painfully stiff lower back. I tried everything from weight training to massage therapy, and finally resigned myself to being an old man in posture and gait.
Within only a few weeks of Alexander lessons, I was straighter, less hunched and almost free of back stiffness and pain. I was walking energetically with an air of confidence and purpose.
Within six weeks of Alexander lessons, I was completely free of back pain!
I continue to work with Dominique on a regular basis and I'm confident that I will improve even more and will soon regain the posture and carriage I once had. My riding continues to improve, my horse is more relaxed and I feel great!"

"After just one workshop I have been applying what I've learned and am getting amazing results in my stamina. Last night at rehearsal, we were very focused on choreography. It would have been normal for me to be exhausted and have my voice suffer. In this rehearsal, however, my focus was on three things I learned from Dominique's session: breathing deeper, lengthening my spine, and relaxing my shoulders and neck.I have to admit that it is a little painful for those poor unused muscles in my neck to actually support my head rather than relax into my shoulders like they always have! But I cannot deny the results—the sound coming from me all evening and the extra energy that I was left with at the end. I'm sure that it will only be a matter of time before it becomes second nature." -Heather Meglasson, singer, San Diego
