Alexander Technique
lessons with
Claire Rechnitzer
I have worked for many years in the jewelry industry as a metalsmith, stone-setter and gemologist. The precise fine-motor skills and concentration required for this detailed work can be just as demanding as hard physical labor. Thankfully, the Alexander Technique has helped me to relieve and prevent pain and injury associated with this work.

I particularly enjoyed teaching gemology and jewelry-fabrication to professionals and lay people of all ages.  I also spent many years teaching art and crafts to pre-school and elementary-school kids in non-traditional schools.

As a learner, teacher and parent, the acquisition and furthering of skill continues to fascinate me on a daily basis. I am convinced that the Alexander Technique is uniquely suited to providing the pre-requisite skills of using one’s own self that ensures productive practice of any other activity.

I was certified as an Alexander Technique teacher in 2008 and find teaching it to be deeply gratifying. I continue to pursue my professional development by participating in workshops with veteran teachers and weekly work-exchanges with colleagues. I am a member of the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT) and currently serve on the AmSAT Journal editorial team.
