Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a practical method of learning to reduce stress and release harmful patterns of muscle tension, restoring ease and freedom of movement.

Body mindfulness in activity

Whatever problem or interest has brought you to the Technique, you begin by learning to recognise and release unnecessary tensions, many of which have been unconscious. You also re-build strength in the body’s postural systems which effortlessly keep us upright. As you learn to apply the technique in daily life, movement and activities will become more light and easy, and you will find you can work and play with less stress and more energy. Pain and problems which are caused or exacerbated by tension and misuse of the body are often relieved. As you increase your ‘body-mindfulness’ you may find other benefits such as improved attention and general well-being, bringing a new awareness, interest and enjoyment to your day-to-day activities.

A course of lessons in the Alexander Technique will help you learn to look after yourself in your daily life.
