What's Alexander Technique?

Sally Ahner, ATI-certified Teacher of the Alexander Technique and Senior Artist Teacher at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of music, sits down with us to discuss body-mind awareness.

Day by day, year by year, our bodies pick up habits that introduce tension into our movements and posture. Could your jaw tension be linked to the way you stand, the back of your neck, or the tilt of your head?

Sally walks us through a 101 break-down of how to retrain habitual patterns of tension, to rethink our kinesthetic sense, and to allow freedom to trump bad habits.

The Holistic Voice Podcast is a free resource created by vocalists, for vocalists. We believe a successful singer needs more than just a great voice. Artistic development, mental and physical health, business skills, and career opportunities all contribute to a singer’s potential. If you are looking for resources and education on how to navigate life as a vocalist, this podcast is for you.
