Lessons

The very best introduction to the Alexander Technique is a one-to-one lesson. The teacher uses gentle hands-on guidance and verbal explanations to help you find ease and balance within yourself. You will be guided through simple, everyday movements such as sitting, standing and bending the knees and you will become aware of inefficient and habitual movement patterns. Together, we explore how you create tension and, with directed thinking, you learn how to prevent or release it.

Everyone can choose how far they want to go, some people want to learn to manage something specific and others get so interested that they continue to have lessons for years and maybe go on to train as an Alexander Teacher themselves. The important thing is to have that first lesson.

The Alexander Technique is thinking in activity. Good thought makes for good movement. You can expect to learn something, not to receive treatment. The Alexander Technique does have therapeutic benefits, but my aim is to teach you how to help yourself. You will need to wear clothing that will allow freedom of movement – I will simply ask you to take off your shoes. Above all lessons are an opportunity to ‘stop’, to enjoy yourself, to get things wrong and laugh about it, to not try to hard and to experience change!
