Alexander Technique for Posture and Wellness

Strength from within, no matter what’s around you.

We may know that we need to take care of ourselves so that we can show up more fully in our personal and professional lives, but how do we “take care of ourselves” when self-care just feels like another item on an endless to-do list? You need a method and a technique to be able to meet the stressors of the world.

Alexander Technique is that method.

Why work with me?

My name is Serena Venditto and I’m an AmSAT certified Alexander Technique Teacher.

I help professionals find relief from chronic pain, anxiety, and the physical strain that builds up from long hours at desks and endless to-do lists.

I know how frustrating it can be to be told to “just relax”—especially when working hard and pushing through were your only ways forward. For a long time, I didn’t know there was anything between doing it all and doing nothing. The Alexander Technique was the first practice that showed me another option. Now, with over a decade of experience and 1,600 hours of teacher training, I’m excited to share this approach with people who are ready to shift out of survival mode and discover a more sustainable way to work, move, and live. If you're ready to try a new approach, I’d love to work with you.

Testimonials

  • Working with Serena has been exceptionally helpful in increasing my sense of bodily awareness, especially as someone who spends long hours at a desk, where stress and posture habits were draining my energy and hurting my body. What I appreciate most is that Serena doesn’t “correct” or try to fix you, but instead, gently guides you to bring awareness to your patterns and invites you to let go of unnecessary effort. The subtle shifts I experienced while working with Serena have made a big impact on how I move and breathe! I’d highly recommend working with Serena to anyone looking to build a deeper practice of awareness. Her kind, gentle approach and thoughtful reminders have been truly transformative!

  • "Serena exudes an admirable quality of focus and lightness in her practice. She brings me into the process of change through the experience of small but meaningful adjustments in how I stand, how I walk, how I move, and where I can learn to let go of habits of tension that get in my way.”

    Genia Gould, Alexander Technique Teacher in Training

  • "Serena's generosity, clarity, and direction as a teacher of Alexander and mindfulness coach has been a tremendous gift during a year of personal and professional transition. Her ability to notice what's new and what's changing in my body each session and to reflect those things back to me has allowed me to further deepen and expand my personal Alexander practice. She's also so much fun to work with, making seemingly complicated concepts into easily approachable and applicable somatic experiences."

    Marianna Gailus, Actor

  • “I started taking weekly lessons with Serena after a serious ankle injury in 2021. Serena brings her personal enthusiasm and dedication to the Alexander Technique to her lessons and it continues to help me work through my various injuries and health struggles. I look forward to the feeling of physical freedom a lesson with Serena gives me after a long day of work.”

    Andrea Pitch, Art Conservator

“It is not the degree of 'willing' or 'trying', but the way in which the energy is directed, that is going to make the 'willing' or 'trying' effective.”
