“We translate everything whether physical, mental, or spiritual into muscular tension.”

F. Matthais Alexander, 1869-1955

The Alexander Technique is an elegant mind/body system that heightens awareness through the gentle touch of a “teacher.” It helps release held tension, while encouraging the body awareness and choice, presenting a new way of using yourself at rest or in any movement. Skills such as sports, playing a musical instrument, dance, working at a computer are enhanced.

The Alexander Technique is particularly helpful for people recovering from an injury, or chronic pain. It improves posture and encourages grace and ease in any activity.

ST said of Rupa and the Alexander Technique:

I can remember being on your Alexander table and feeling like you were
making my arms and legs longer so they fit better on my body! I always
felt so much better after each session. One of my favorite memories was
when you had me stand up and sit down repeatedly and rapidly while you
guided me with your hand on the back of my neck. It was amazing, like I
was learning how to do it all over again. That was really fun! And it
got me thinking about how I use my body. Thanks for the *connection*!

Benefits of the Alexander Technique

Reduce strain and muscular tension;
Find a better way to manage stress;
Improve posture, balance, and coordination;

THE CONNECTED SELF!

Catlan Says:

My favorite body-mind practitioner, the person I go to when my body gets out of whack, is Rupa Cousins. Rupa has worked with me for way over a decade (I don't even recall when we began) using both the Alexander Technique and Rubenfeld Synergy, which incorporates emotional/spiritual aspects into the brilliantly subtle and effective Alexander Technique.

I have only the highest regard for her over 30 years of experience, her gentle and safe presence. Yesterday I knew my back was out of whack. Should I go to a chiropractor, which my insurance would cover, or to Rupa? I asked my body, and it was overwhelmingly Rupa. I called her at 8:30am, she had space for me at 4:30 the same day. I felt such relief as soon as I hung up, knowing I'd made the right choice. Our session was amazing, as they usually are. With Rupa's guidance I was able to connect with some uncomfortable voices from the past that needed review and resonse. Also with a supportive presence from my past that I need now to go forward, to help me with my next chapter. My body feels a lot better, too.

It is true, my insurance does not cover sessions with this amazing woman. She has a sliding scale. It is worth whatever you have to do to work with her, if you need gentle, deep and wise womanly guidance on your journey. Rupa also happens to be the most experienced teacher of the Alexander Technique in the area. Her hands are so wise. Alexander is for coaxing your body out of bad habits into graceful correct use. It's dynamite and long-lasting.

Her phone number is 802-387-5276 (I know it by heart). She lives in Dummerston, near Route 5 in Southeastern Vermont. Call her today.
