Mag. Josef Weiss

After moving to the United States in 1997, Josef's combined interests in the fine arts, teaching, and positive life change led him to the Alexander Technique. Soon after, Josef began to pursue formal training as an Instructor in the Alexander Technique.

Certified since 2000, he has helped a variety of students to gain better health and improve their abilities in performing arts, in sports, and in everyday life.

Josef says, "It is a wonderful experience to see the cause and solutions of problems and to experience the growth of my students in every lesson."

"One of the most remarkable of man's characteristics is his capacity for becoming used to conditions of almost any kind, whether good or bad, both in the self and in the environment, and once he has become used to such conditions they seem to him both right and natural."
