"I originally began working with Nick in hopes of alleviating lingering pain
in my lower back after badly straining a muscle a few months earlier. I
also hoped to get relief from chronic ankle pain that was brought on from
running long distances. The Alexander Technique turned out to be an
approach unlike any other I had experienced before, and Nick was an
excellent instructor. He was able to show me how I was holding excess
muscle tension in my body and then worked on training my mind to consciously
release that tension. With his expert guidance, he helped me to rethink the
way I approached simple movements like sitting, standing, walking and
running. Not only was I able to find relief from my back pain, but he
helped me to develop a more efficient running stride that virtually
eliminated the ankle soreness I had experienced for years. Beyond the pain
relief, Nick helped me apply the Alexander Techniques to other areas of my
life as well. I am an avid surfer and by applying the postural awareness I
learned with Nick to surfing, I have made great improvements to my
technique. Overall my experience with Nick has been wonderful and I expect
the knowledge and awareness I've acquired to benefit me for the rest of my
life." Jeff Selvig, (Surfer and Runner)
“Through my work with Nick George and the Alexander Technique, I have found a great deal of freedom to connect with my body. Nick provides a safe, open environment to allow yourself to be vulnerable, which frees up old self-judgements and gives you the ability to trust your body to be there for you. Whether it's nerves, being able to focus, or releasing tension that inhibits performance, Alexander Technique has given me the ability to enjoy being in my body and to encounter the world through a calm, aware, and flexible approach. It is sometimes considered a subtle practice, but I have found the results to be quite drastic, and the process of learning and growing through Alexander Technique has incorporated itself into everything I do. I can't recommend Nick George highly enough.” Julie Pusch (Professional Musician and Actress)
