I have been fascinated by this wonderful work since 1995 taking lessons following back surgery. Then in 2009 I embarked on a three year training course at the Oxford Alexander Technique School graduating in 2012. Since then I have worked with a wide cohort of adults and children helping to improve their performance in any everyday activity with a general improvement in their quality of life.  

So whether we are cooking, working at a computer, dancing, singing an aria, walking in town we process an inherent capacity to move naturally. Moving naturally promotes ease, flexibility, power and expressiveness.

Unwittingly, we often interfere with our anatomical design. Energy, poise, and ease gives way to effort, tension and fatigue.

The Alexander Technique gives a working knowledge of the principles governing human coordination.  It teaches us how to be, at once, relaxed and ready, soft and strong, light and substantial, firm and flexible.  Through lessons we become capable of redirecting excessive effort into useful energy. Becoming more effortlessly upright, we also find ourselves coming down to the ground, to a place where we can function, comfortably and appreciatively. 

If this appeals to you come and give it a go and feel the change in you.
