Ben Miller -Aperio Solutions

Working with Ben has been an incredible experience and gift. I knew after the first session with him that his technique and presence was going to be helpful both for my artistic side and every day side. I often say to friends that it has been life changing… words I don’t use lightly. His knowledge of Alexander Technique has enabled me to see aspects of my body and my ways of using/​not using it that hold me back. I leave our sessions feeling different in the world around me and excited to experience being who I truly am physically and mentally.
Ben’s kindness, humor and sincere interest in growth through Alexander make working with him invaluable. I feel very lucky to have met and explore growth with him.

When I first started working with Ben, about six months ago, it was to improve my vocal technique and to gain more physical awareness and control as an actor.
What I discovered almost immediately was a greater sense of my own presence in the world. It’s difficult to explain how that manifests but all I can say it that since I began working with Ben I feel less that I live in my head and more that I live in the physical world, a tremendous benefit for me. In a way, I feel more available to myself, and less likely to rely on, literally, defensive posturing.
An unintended benefit is that I no longer feel pain in my hip and knees upon awakening. Working with Ben for only a few months has corrected years of poor alignment and an unnatural stance. In addition to correcting these poor postural habits, whenever I do revert to them, my body is immediately aware of them, and not simply re-​absorbing the poor habits as in the past. This allows me to make immediate corrections before the poor habits become ingrained once again.
These can be huge life changes. Ben’s humor and compassion make me feel safe and supported during the process. I highly recommend Ben Miller for any artists who want to develop a greater sense of their own mind/​body connection or for any person who wants to be free of pain resulting from flawed alignment or posture or who wants to live more fully aware of their own physical experience.

«For as long as I have worked with Ben Miller, I have known him to be an inspiring and motivating teacher in both Alexander Technique and acting as a discipline. In his very unique and special way, he is able to give a student exactly what they need to accomplish their goals. There are no regrets when working with this man, only options and potential. It has been a joy to work with him and an honor to be mentored by him.»

«Ben Miller worked with me in London to address both postural difficulties and back and neck pain. He was clear, thorough and very helpful in his interventions and I have no doubt that his work was pivotal in my full recovery from pain. He comes highly recommended.»

«Ben’s work with this the Technique enabled me to have even greater awareness and ways to think about releasing than ever before. I use the Technique in almost everything I do. When I am teaching, I often use the Technique to increase my clarity and poise in front of my class, so as to maintain vocal and physical strength throughout the day.»
