Welcome to the website of the Dutch Society of Alexander Technique Teachers (NeVLAT - de Nederlandse Vereniging van Leraren in de Alexander Techniek - established in 1996).

The Alexander Technique is a practical method for learning how to restore our natural balance and coordination, and is named after its originator, F.M. Alexander.

The human body has a sensitive balance system which allows us to be effortlessly poised in everything we do, as long as we do not interfere with it. However, without realising, we tend to build up habitual patterns of muscle tension which can disturb our balance. The Alexander Technique makes us aware of how we create such harmful tension and teaches us how to prevent it, so that the body can return to a freer, more natural way of working. It's a process which can enhance our mental as well as physical wellbeing.

On our website you will find a list of qualified teachers. You are welcome to take an introductory lesson before deciding whether to follow a course of one-to-one lessons.
