I am a dance artist and somatic teacher who is deeply curious about the sentient world and my entanglement within it. I have spent most of my life tending to the things that grow between the cracks. It is in this liminal space where I touch upon the things that cannot be named and find new meanings for the things that are. I bring 20+ years of studying and teaching movement and somatic forms that deeply integrate and inform my Alexander practice. I love teaching Contemporary Alexander to others, as it is an honor to support significant change in ones’ personhood in whatever unique ways those changes take shape (express).

the Contemporary Alexander Technique is a hands-on study of how we each move through the world doing what we do. The study is both practical and profound, creating new choices for each student as patterns of use are observed, explored, and transformed. Because our habitual patterns are often the source of our discomfort, pain, and imbalance, changes in these patterns through our awareness and choice are often accompanied by a renewed sense of joy, freedom, and balance.

I started my Alexander Technique journey over 12 years ago as a student with a chronic neck injury. From the first moment I stepped into a lesson it was clear that this work touched much more than my neck (cervical spine). The work helped me through the transition into motherhood, and all the complexities of living in this moment in time. Whatever brings you into the work you are welcomed here.

I am a graduate from the Contemporary Alexander School/Alexander Alliance International (US) directed by Robyn Avalon. If you would like to know more about my work and offerings please go to: www.Tahniholt.com
