Alexander Technique

Every day life can impose stress and strain on our bodies and minds which builds up over time. The Alexander Technique helps us to change the way we think and the way we respond to our environment, and restores balance in the way we use ourselves. Through individual lessons with a teacher we learn to release muscular tension and change postural habits, working with simple movements and helped by hands-on guidance.

The Technique can help with back and neck pain, knee or joint problems, arthritis, stress, lack of confidence and voice strain; improving breathing, alignment and our overall sense of well-being. It can also help us in the workplace, for example to sit more effectively at our computer or to relax and move efficiently in any activity.

Performing artists, sports people, those in pain, as well as anyone who wants to move freely and feel at ease in themselves will benefit from Alexander Technique lessons. It is a unique method of re-education of the individual, which is rapidly becoming better known and practised worldwide.

A series of 10-20 lessons is recommended, or you can book an introductory lesson first to try it out. All lessons cost £30.
