About

Sandra Bain Cushman’s passion for unlocking creative potential began with her theater studies at Cornell University in 1977. A certified teacher of the Alexander Technique since 1990, she has taught renowned musicians, writers, theater groups, medical professionals, and business leaders how to gain greater poise, balance, and freedom in their work and in their lives.

Sandra is the founder of Orchestral Maneuvers. OM offers creative strategies to groups and individuals, musicians and non-musicians alike.

Sandra has worked with Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft, now Guitar Circles of North America, South America and Europe, from 1988-1990 and from 2000-present.

In July of 2010 Sandra graduated from Jessica Wolf’s Art of Breathing training and holds a certificate in teaching breathing coordination. In October of 2011 she published Mind Body 40 Days, an AT-based support guide for those beginning mind-body practices.

Sandra lives on a mountainside in Virginia with poet and professor, Stephen Cushman. She runs an AmSAT-approved teacher training course, Safe Space Together, which will complete with the final graduate this June.
