The
Alexander Technique, pioneered by FM Alexander in the late
1800s, provides a remarkable path to balanced, creative
living. It is used world-wide by people from all walks
of life. Through learning and applying the
Technique it is possible to replace restrictive and painful
postural habits with more effective patterns of movement
accompanied by a fresh sense of lightness, freedom and
well-being.
For more information on The Alexander
Technique, its history and many applications, you might like
to investigate two websites: www.alexandertechnique.com,
a wonderfully rich site with lots of interesting articles and
www.stat.org.uk - the
site of The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique of
which I am a member.
I love
teaching this work whether it be one-to-one lessons or group
classes. To accompany 'pupils' as they journey towards
increased freedom in their chosen activity is an immense
privilege and one which gives me great joy. A
course of lessons can feel like a holiday from the effort
and strain we unconsciously apply to everyday life.
Just as young children move, speak and think with freedom,
we can, with a little re-education, do the same.
