Teaching Statement:
In her Zoom classes Stefanie teaches the Alexander Technique based on F.M. Alexander’s original approach that did not involve hands-on contact at first. In the context of HB Studio, she has the interest of actors in mind. She will introduce you to the core principles including a mindset shift that emphasizes the process over fixating solely on the result. Through concise exercises, you will learn to recognize and transform limiting habits, turning them into opportunities for progress. Lively student engagement in these explorations is welcomed. Seeing results from the Alexander Technique requires practice, so Stefanie encourages daily 5–10-minute routines between sessions. – This course is for beginners as well as intermediate levels.
