Public Speaking & Presenting

“I took [classes] to help me to be able to stand and breathe better, especially in front of classrooms of students (something that gives me tremendous anxiety but is part of my job). I feel more confident and truly feel like I am breathing in a way I never have before, very fully. And my posture is better. I can sense when I am slouching and have a little trick to correct that. This has given me more confidence and I have been more at ease in the classroom and in presentations. It has made a huge difference in how I feel and how I am received.”
— Rosemary Taylor, Postdoctoral Fellow/Visiting Assistant Professor at The Graduate Center, CUNY

Whether you speak to large audiences or give conference room presentations at work, the Alexander Technique can give you tools to help you connect with and engage your audience, avoid straining your voice, calm nervousness, and keep you from feeling out of breath.   

Recent scientific research shows that more upright posture can increase feelings of confidence.
