Laura Parker

I came to the Alexander Technique as an opera singer looking to free my rigid body and shallow breathing and to enhance my abilities as a performer. AT became my secret weapon; after a lesson, everything was easier. I was finally getting out of my own way! Later in my life, I sustained a neck injury that was so serious it not only jeopardized my singing, but caused a great deal of pain in my day-to- day living.  It was my AT teacher who made the greatest impact on my recovery, helping me to calm intense pain and muscle spasms and rediscover my body's natural harmony and coordination.

Laura teaches the Alexander Technique (AT) in Los Angeles through private lessons, masterclasses, group courses, and workshops.
