“Everyone wants to be right, but no one stops to consider if their idea of right is right.” FM Alexander

Working closely with a teacher, the Alexander Technique is a gentle yet powerful educational approach which will provide you with the understanding needed to be able change the habits that cause excessive strain on muscles and joints. The mind and body begin to work together more freely as you explore the way in which we function, our reaction to stimuli and the nature of our unconscious behaviour. The skills you learn within lessons can be applied to any activity and daily life.

Whatever your age and no matter what you do for a living, the Alexander Technique can help you to make positive changes to your life. It will help you feel better and move with greater ease providing you with improvements in your overall functioning, It is not an exercise regime or therapy session, but an educational process that can provide skills for life that could make a major difference to you and your wellbeing.

Many of us are unconsciously holding on to patterns of tension in our bodies which can result in many of today's physical and emotional difficulties. Many of these patterns have been set in place for years and so have become part of our habits of movement which become part of ‘us’ and so feels right to us. This simple fact makes it impossible for us to know for sure the difference between what is right and wrong and the reason an teacher is required to assist you developing a real understanding of your body's functioning.

Our bodies and minds are our most valuable piece of machinery yet it seems to be the last thing that we give any consideration to. We don't come with a manual and education doesn’t provide us with the necessary training to equipped us adequately. This is where the Alexander Technique can be of great help to all, especially as many of today’s ailments and pains can directly or indirectly be attributed to poor use of ourselves. The aim of the technique is to work with you as a pupil to help you discover a more informed picture of your mechanism together together with an awareness to enable a more conscious use of yourself. The work is not simply body mechanics but works with the organism as a whole, the mind and body together. Alexander referred to this as psycho physical unity.
