Testimony:

“The Alexander-Technique-sessions with Matthias are really a joy for me. Matthias guides the sessions with his kind presence and great experience, which make it very easy for me to let go and trust the process. He is very precise, but gentle in the way he points out more healthy and harmonious ways of using the body. Through simple images and supporting touch, he invites changes in posture and movement, which create more ease, openness and stability with less effort. I feel that, through the work with him, I develop a new body-awareness and a greater sensitivity for the natural intelligence of the body. When I come from his sessions, I always feel light, deeply relaxed and very alive in my body.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Matthias’ work.”

Matthias Graefen

Hello, I am Matthias Graefen and I have been teaching the Alexander-Technique for about 16 years now.  This work has many benefits and advantages to offer. Starting with fact of the body, it is possible to experience lightness, deep relaxation, renewed energy and a presence in your daily life.

On deeper level it is a path of self-discovery. You will explore how habits are related to your reactions in your everyday activities. If we are not in the present moment, we easily loose the awareness of our bodies. The results are unaware tensions and a shorting of the whole stature. This often creates uncomfortable feelings, negative thoughts and in the long run chronical pains. 

The main tool in this process work is to learn how to stop this on a physical, but also on a mental level. So only to stop gives us the possibility to discover knew options in the way we react and think. The Alexander-Technique is hands-on work in which the teacher and the student are like mirrors for each other and gives us the chance to experience who we are beyond our habitual doing. Learning to get out of your own way, leads us to quality of who we really are. This is the paradox in every spiritual path. If disturbances get reduced or vanish our senses, thoughts and feelings become pure and reliable again – This is the main beauty of this work!

This work fills me with love and gratitude, and I will be glad to share my skills and experience with you. You can book me in 3 different ways. For the beginning I suggest private lessons. But I also run an international certificated 3,5 year teacher training course. Besides that you can book me for groups, institutions or companies.

“I always had lower back pain and was afraid that I’d get a slipped disc. Because of my work with Matthias, I know how to move correctly and release tension, and I have a totally new relationship with my body. Alexander Technique has become an integral part of my life and supports me every day so that I can enjoy my life even more. That’s why I’m taking the Alexander Technique teacher training course.”

Steffen Raebricht – Psychologist

“When a friend told me about the Alexander Technique a couple of years ago, I thought: that sounds like the ideal relaxation method for stressed-out office workers – and I decided to try a lesson with Matthias. Now I know: it’s much more than that. Relaxation is actually not the point at all – the lessons can be quite demanding – rather, it’s about learning to be friendlier to your body, not asking more of it than is necessary. That’s not easy for someone as stubborn as I am. But with time I’ve come to understand that less often really is more and that I can get the same results with less effort. And in the end, that leads to mental calmness too.”

Ingo Way – Journalist

“I came to the Alexander Technique and Matthias because of my tense shoulders and neck, hoping to change my posture and movements. I work on it in the lessons and try to live it in between. I have developed a greater awareness of my body and can behave differently as a result. Rather unexpected for me was how much the physical exercises have to do with attitude to life, with me as a whole and with my presence and focus. The instructions to the body in class are often exactly what I need as a human being in my life and my relationships with other people. Balance, energy… A creative process that brings me much joy.”
