The Alexander Technique is used by everybody from Olympic athletes to office workers. It is of benefit to musicians and opera singers and is commonly taught in drama schools.

An introductory lesson will give you an opportunity to experience how the Technique works and allow you to make a judgement as to whether it is right for you.

Many of us are so busy rushing through life, we put ourselves under extreme mental and physical pressure.

We blame the resulting pain and anxiety on the stress of a particular activity or on our ageing joints.

We ignore the fact that this discomfort is our body’s way of telling us to pause, think, and thereby break free of a life-time of unhelpful habits.

As F.M. Alexander put it: “If you stop doing the wrong thing the right thing does itself”.

He is reminding us that our body knows best, that we can learn not to interfere with its naturally evolved supporting mechanisms, and discover true balance and poise.

Anyone of any age or physical ability can benefit from lessons.

One does not have to be in great discomfort or pain to benefit. Many study the process simply to enhance their living.

Lessons last 45 minutes, are given one-to-one, they are a practical and fun way of learning to use our intelligence to explore movement and response.

Through the teacher’s gentle guiding hands, and verbal encouragement, you become more aware of unproductive habits and how to consciously change them, enabling you to preserve energy with less effort.

You come to understand how your body wants to work, and can then apply this knowledge to life’s many and varied activities.
