About Jeff Tessler

Jeff in Canada

Jeff has had a life-long interest in the therapeutic benefits of mind/ body awareness training with Alexander Technique at its foundation, as well as ongoing interest in movement-based performance arts. Crippling injuries from high school football and college dance training led Jeff Tessler into his study of the Alexander Technique. He is an amateur jazz and percussion ensemble drummer. He studies and teaches Taiji.

Jeff Tessler certified as an Alexander Technique Teacher in 1981 after completing an intensive three-year teacher training course.  Since then, he has maintained private teaching practices regionally and nationally. Some of his other influences include ongoing training in Zen and Taiji. His present interests include passions for gardening and writing.
