What People Are Saying... about the Alexander Technique

At the Wilma Studio School Open House last night, I watched in semi-amazement as one person after another would glide away from Mary McCann's massage table with the same serene grin on their face. They all seemed amazed by how transformed they were after just 10 minutes with Mary. "I'm so relaxed right now," "she's incredible," and "WOW..." were some of the comments I heard...

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE is an essential component of most actor training programs. Mary McCann has a rare and magical gift. --Anne K. Holmes, Education Director, The Wilma Theater, Philadelphia, PA

WHAT IS IT?
Alexander Technique helps actors to become more comfortable inside their bodies by identifying and eliminating the places of stored tension...Mary teaches her students to recognize where those places are, and empowers them with specific techniques for releasing those points of tension themselves.

So maybe it's time to treat yourself...

The Alexander Technique is peak performance training for actors, performers, business leaders, public speakers, and anyone looking to enhance their physical energy, mental clarity and focus.  Using a variety of exercises and proper body alignment, students learn how to eliminate excess tension and increase energy and confidence.
