Is this technique similar to alexander's?

A BALANCING ACT/ BALANCE YOUR ACT Blog: said...

It actually is quite different, although Alexander technique does cover relaxation, movement and the body/mind connection, this goes much further into the energy realm, with the understanding and managing of the chakras and the aura and other elements of the energetic system.
It bridges the inside-out/ outside-in approaches and gives actors tools to go deeper / higher into the creative state as well as a method to rebalance after performance.
