Serena is now available to teach private Alexander Technique lessons in the Andersonville neighborhood in Chicago. She is currently completing her three-year, 1,600-hour Alexander Technique teacher training certification at Alexander Technique Training in Chicago with master teacher Daria Okugawa.
While she completes her training, the fee for a 50-minute private lesson is $50. In June 2026, Serena will graduate, and lesson fees will increase at that time.

Is the Alexander Technique Right for Me?
The Alexander Technique may be right for you if you:
- Experience chronic tension, pain, or stiffness
- Want to improve posture, balance, or coordination
- Deal with neck, back, or joint pain
- Feel strained by sitting, standing, or working at a computer
- Are a performer (musicians, actors, dancers) seeking more freedom and endurance
- Feel stuck in habits that contribute to pain or fatigue
- Want tools for stress reduction and nervous system regulation
- Are curious about how you move and want to feel more at home in your body
What Is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a gentle, hands-on and educational approach that helps you become aware of habitual patterns of tension and learn how to change them.
Lessons focus on:
- Increasing awareness of how you move
- Reducing unnecessary effort
- Learning choices that support ease and coordination
What Happens in a Private Lesson?
In a 50-minute lesson, you might:
- Talk about what you’re noticing in your body or daily activities
- Work with gentle hands-on guidance
- Explore simple movements like sitting and standing
- Learn tools you can apply immediately in daily life
Lessons are individualized, collaborative, and non-invasive.
My first experience with Serena and the Alexander Technique has stayed with me long after our time together was over. Serena’s attention to detail and her ability to teach me practical things to apply to my day to day has left me feeling so much better.
