Frequently Asked Questions 😀​

​

• Where are lessons located?

Brittany's studio is located in Downtown Brooklyn, NY: 44 Court St. Brooklyn, NY 11201 (Suite 1000, 10th floor). She also travels for in-home lessons and sessions. The studio is located inside Open Care Community, a wonderful holistic and community-minded acupuncture clinic.    

​

• How many lessons does it take to learn the Alexander Technique?

It depends--some people learn helpful information in a single lesson; others study longer. If you are looking for a specific number, 10 lessons are recommended to develop a foundational understanding of the fundamental concepts. One helpful way to contextualize is akin to music lessons: one doesn't expect to walk out of a first music lesson playing a concerto or fully developed jazz solo; it is a process. Similarly, learning to recognize the body as a musical instrument requires time and attention. ​​

​

• What should I wear to an A.T. lesson? How about a stretch session?

For stretching, please wear clothes that stretch (sweatpants, leggings, whatever you are comfortable working out in, etc). For an A.T. lesson, everyday clothes work great--it should be noted sleeveless shirts or short skirts are best avoided because the teacher works near the armpit area discussing arms, and table work usually includes resting on the back with knees facing toward the ceiling. Alexander lessons and assisted stretching sessions always occur fully clothed; it is not a massage. 

​

• Can I opt for sessions where one half is Alexander Technique and the other half is stretching?

Absolutely! Many clients do this with great results. Please let me know what you prefer, and I will build a recommendation and plan based on our first session.
