At Easy Alexander, we believe in moving with ease. As you move through your hectic life, have you ever thought, “There must be a better way?”

Our Story

At Easy Alexander, we believe in moving with ease. As you move through your hectic life, have you ever thought, “There must be a better way?”

Moving with Ease is much more than freedom from pain and effort. It means that you can stand with confidence in yourself, to choose and guide your experience of life, to achieve success through the power of your conscious awareness and expanded sense of yourself.

Using the Alexander Technique, Sarah Barker’s Easy Alexander will help you find freedom in your movement to help you with freedom from stress and from pain while finding a holistic path to wellness and everyday living.

Let us take you there!

MINDFULNESS

Learning to move with ease will help increase your physical awareness of yourself and the world around you, allowing you to develop physical intelligence, embody your imagination, and take charge of your health and success!

PHYSICAL WELLBEING

Attempts to keep our bodies fit and healthy will often lead us to undesired results. The harder we push, we figure, the better we’ll be. But it’s not usually true. By focusing on physical wellness and the whole body, we can slow down, release stress and pain, and prevent injury

PRECISION IN PERFORMANCE

Learning to think with unity in mind and body lends the performer a greater control and choice in how we perform moment to moment. Reaction time is shorter and action is more accurate and effortless.

MOVING WITH EASE

ABOUT THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

Imagine a technique for transforming the operation of your body, so simple that you can learn it yourself. It is a technique so amazing because your physical as well as your emotional life will soon change for the better, like opening a door into another world.

That technique is the Alexander Technique, developed by F. Matthias Alexander at the turn of the twentieth century. It is based on his discovery that the brain and the body are inseparable parts of a unified system, a psychophysical whole.

Testimonials

What People Are Saying

“Using your Alexander DVD’s was a fabulous experience.  My process was to study one part at a time, learning from you for each part from the DVD.  Your concise and clear explanations of those things that we as movement teachers intuitively know was so helpful to get it into Alexander terms and simple anatomical images.  I need more work of this kind on my own body and hope to find an Alexander teacher in the area to work with as well. Thanks for much for creating a way for non-Alexander movement teachers to use this work.”

Professor Joann Browning
Theatre Movement Specialist, University of Delaware,

“Sarah Barker’s instructional DVD on the Alexander Technique is a revelation.  The animated visual depiction of anatomy in motion allows the viewer to truly see what she is being guided to visualize.  Without an Alexander teacher nearby, I have been unable to seek out instruction not only for myself but for my students.   Sarah’s years of expertise, her musical voice, clear instructions and beautifully organized interface has given us a method of exploration that has yielded powerful results. I purchased several, and have made it a part of my introductory movement classes so that each of my students can benefit from its lessons. Many of my students LOVED working with your DVD!”

Professor Leslie Bennett
Professor of Movement, University of Kansas
 “The DVD continues to be a fabulous part of my AT class.  I use some segments in class, assign others, and then we do the whole sequence together in a couple of the end of term classes.  Then this past term particularly, I’ve found myself referencing the DVD as I do individual lessons with students (for example, working with a student on how to weed a garden with a low fence around it – referenced the torso section and moving up and over a ball).  Since my whole agenda is to give them tools to continue on their own, I’ve loved finding ways – like the DVD – to reinforce their own exploration.”
Kathy Privatt
Associate Professor of Theatre Arts

“Sarah Barker has used today’s technology to demystify Alexander’s process for gaining awareness and control of the self…something that many have tried but few have succeeded. This presentation will help to bring these pragmatic and needed principles to the masses and is must viewing for students and teachers alike.”
