When it comes right down to it, we're all creatures of habit.

Take me, for example. I like the way I do things. I'm generally happy doing things my way because, frankly, I know how I do things best for me. Right? It's a no-brainer!

And that's exactly why we develop habits. So we can make it a no-brainer.

F. M. Alexander was an orator in the late 1800's who lost his voice because of the way he used it. He developed a technique which allowed him to regain his speaking ability and found that this technique could be used to improve any activity that we perform.

The Alexander Technique helps you improve the way you are.

What does that mean?

Let's say you learn something new. When you first try to do it, it may be difficult. Once you learn it, you can do it without it being as challenging and you'll be able to do it without thinking about it so much. That ability has now become part of the way you are. You have learned a mapping that makes it easy for you to remember how to do it again and it's VERY difficult to learn a new way once it's stuffed in there.
