What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a psychosomatic method developed by F.M. Alexander which allows us, through a series of procedures, to become aware of our body’s ability to function as an entire entity, instead of as individual components. This leads to an improved use, coordination, and functioning of the body, and can alleviate pain, as well as many physical and mental ailments.

Workshops
I am available for workshops that introduce the Alexander Technique (background, history, and evolution). Each participant will receive hands-on work during the workshop.
About Mona
Mona Sangesland came to the Alexander Technique in 2016, after years of repetitive stress injury rendered her unable to perform her instrument with full ease and mastery. The journey to regain health of body and mind led her to complete a year of study on a Fulbright Scholarship at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland, and then later to pursue an Alexander Technique training certification. She graduated in 2022 from The Alexander Technique Training Center in Boston, MA under the direction of Ruth Kilroy, and now offers private lessons from her home studio in Seattle, WA.
