The Alexander technique is a unique way of improving the way we move, sit , stand , even breathe.
Lessons are taught on a one to one basis, with the teacher using gentle guiding hands and verbal instructions to bring about a change in the pupils posture and more importantly, an improvement in the way they move.
Learning the Alexander Technique involves changing long-standing
habits of movement, and relies on your active participation.
A lesson lasts approximatel 40 minutes, the pupil remains fully clothed during the lesson.
The Technique involves no specific exercises, requires no special equipment, and can be practised wherever you are. It is suitable for people of all ages and levels of physical fitness.
Through experience and observation you gain increased awareness, enabling you to change
long-standing habits and to function more efficiently. In time you will be able to use your new
understanding and skill in more complex and demanding activities; you can bring awareness and
poise to anything you do.
"Life changing: freedom of movement, freedom from pain, improved alertness, able to learn again,
improved confidence, better health, improved breathing, inner calmness, to mention but a few
changes."
