Alexander Technique Lessons (one-to-one)

The Alexander Technique is a simple and practical method of learning to be poised and to move easily without stiffness or unnecessary effort. It improves coordination, breathing and performance.
Learning the Alexander Technique can help prevent or alleviate conditions associated with undue tension or poor posture. It supports rehabilitation following injury or illness, and teaches management of stress and pain.
Through its emphasis on teaching self-awareness and providing the tools to change unhelpful habits, it enhances performance and effectiveness in the workplace, as well as in sports and the performing arts.

Lessons are on a one-to-one basis and the number of lessons required depends on the individual.
In a lesson the teacher uses explanation and a gentle guiding touch to encourage a letting go of unnecessary effort and a gradual change of unhelpful postural habits and ways of moving. As with any new skill, the Technique is best learned on a weekly basis for a course of 10-30 lessons, in order to change patterns of misuse and establish the new habits. However the progress of learning also depends on the pupil’s condition and enthusiasm, so a shorter course of lessons is also likely to be beneficial. You are welcome to try out an introductory session to see if it is right for you.
