“I'm a definite cheerleader for Dr. Hensel's Alexander technique classes.  My students always have posture and tension issues---what pianist doesn't?----and Larry gave us a dynamite class.  The philosophies and thinking strategies he showed us were immediately and immensely helpful.  There is no one who would not benefit from exposure to his classes.”

AT is a method that provides the tools for change.  Thinking strategies are used to allow ease of movement, change harmful patterns that interfere with everyday activity, and access a more natural sense of the self.  This thinking method enables one to make intelligent choices about movement during any activity and increases one's awareness of the world around.  You do not take time out of your day to engage in this method; in essence, you live the Alexander Technique.  Therefore, it is ultimately about the quality of your life.

"Dr. Hensel is a profoundly effective teacher of the Alexander Technique. The proof of that statement is evident in both my own work as an actor and teacher and in the results I have seen in my students. Not only does Dr. Hensel help students quickly identify ingrained habits that perhaps could be re-evaluated for efficiency and ease, he is a joy to work with. A consummate artist himself, he innately understands the need for the creative space and process to remain joyous and free. And that is exactly what he brings into every session."
