Once the orientation session is complete, teens must be accompanied by an adult or personal trainer at all time. Please contact Sarah Bright at sbright@boarsheadresort.com to schedule an appointment with our fitness staff.

Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique teaches improved posture and movement to help reduce and prevent tension in your body that often results in neck and back pain, sore shoulders and other musculoskeletal problems. These issues might be the result of misuse of your body over a long period of time, such as moving inefficiently and standing or sitting with your weight unevenly distributed.

The aim of Alexander Technique is to help unlearn bad habits and achieve a balanced, more naturally aligned body.

The Alexander Technique is taught by a qualified professional in one-on-one sessions. Over the course of several sessions, you are taught to be more aware of your body and how to improve poor posture and move more efficiently.

The lessons include observation of your movements and working with you to move, sit, lie down and stand with better balance and less strain. The teacher will use their hands to gently guide you in your movements.

Free phone consultations are provided.

Fee per session: $55 per 30 minutes.

Please contact Sarah Bright at sbright@boarsheadresort.com to schedule sessions with our instructor, Steve Russell.
