What is
The Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is a process of re-education which teaches us how to use ourselves better and avoid the stresses and strains of everyday life.

How is this achieved?

With a course of 10 to 15 one-to-one lessons with a qualified teacher who guides you into a new experience of balance and coordination.

Why
The Alexander Technique?

To perform better, to improve your quality of life, to increase self awareness and become more alert and to change the habits of a lifetime.

The Alexander Technique can alleviate many problems - RSI, neck and back pain, arthritis, blood pressure, ME, Parkinson's Disease, asthma and breathing problems. It can also help with voice problems, coordination, posture and stress. It can be helpful during pregnancy and childbirth.

The Art of
The Alexander Technique

Use affects functioning. If we use ourselves well we function well if we use ourselves badly we function badly. The Alexander Technique is unique in that it emphasises the quality of our experience in everything that we do in our daily lives. We learn to allow the head to balance freely on top of the spine so that we can stop interfering with our poise and coordination. Using the Technique we learn how to bring this experience into movement so that we find a new quality of freedom and lightness in our daily lives - walking, singing, playing music, acting, running, riding.

Devised by FM Alexander who was born in Tasmania in 1869 and died in London in 1955, the Technique helps us to develop our sensory awareness
- the 'lost sixth sense' - a completely new experience.
