Alexander Technique

Alena is a certified Alexander Technique teacher and professional soprano whose work is rooted in helping performers discover greater freedom, awareness, and ease in their work. She received her Alexander Technique Certificate from Boston Conservatory at Berklee in 2025, where she developed a practical understanding of the Technique and its application to movement, breath, vocal production, and performance.

As a singer, Alena has experienced firsthand how physical habits and unnecessary tension can affect coordination, breathing, vocal freedom, and performance. Her approach to Alexander Technique is grounded in this performer’s perspective, helping students become more aware of their habits and discover more efficient ways of moving and using themselves.

Alena has also worked with individuals with a wide range of physical needs and life experiences, including people recovering from injuries, individuals who are immunocompromised, people living with chronic fatigue, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and scoliosis, as well as older adults and pregnant and/or nursing mothers. These experiences have strengthened her ability to adapt her approach to each individual and to work with sensitivity, patience, and respect for the body’s changing needs.

Alena is particularly passionate about making Alexander Technique accessible and concrete. She is known for giving clear, specific instructions rather than relying on abstract concepts, and she strives to meet each student where they are in their own physical and artistic process. Her goal is not to prescribe a particular way of standing or moving, but to help each person develop greater awareness and freedom to make their own discoveries.

She is especially interested in working with singers, actors, musicians, and other performing artists seeking greater physical ease, coordination, and presence in their work, while welcoming students from a wide range of backgrounds and physical experiences.
