How can I achieve the benefits of The Alexander Technique when I do not live near an instructor? Is a question often included in emails to Eileen Troberman. There is no substitution for one-on-one instruction and guided feedback. Books and pre-recorded videos provide an insight into what one can obtain with the Alexander Technique, but an instructor provides the feedback and guidance to insure you are practicing it correctly. When going for an Alexander lesson is not possible or inconvenient, live video sessions over the internet using Skype can provide very helpful response and guidance by the instructor. This is a tremendous improvement over one way leaning.

It is also useful for musicians and other performers who are looking for some help and coaching to notice what physical habits might be interfering with their skills and to learn what they might do on their own to help themselves relieve their problem areas of pain or discomfort.

Equipment and setup for a Skype video session is simple. All the student requires is a computer with high speed internet connection and a camera, microphone and speakers if not included. Before purchasing new equipment and downloading Skype email Eileen Troberman with details on what you are trying to accomplish with the Alexander Technique over long distance learning. She will respond with your next step to begin.

I am living in Amman, Jordan, which is almost 10 hours ahead of California, When I phoned Eileen the first time to be trained through Internet, I was rather skeptical that coaching through the web using Skype & web cam wouldn't be appropriate or reliable. Now I feel very excited of the progress that I am doing, just after almost 10 training sessions. Eileen, you do succeeded to let me feel the difference practicing Alex Tech. with this short period of time. I feel very pleased, relaxed and enthusiastic. I am quite sure that the Internet provides potential means to learn Alexander wherever you are in the globe. Click here to read the entire testimonial.
