What Is The Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique (devised by FM Alexander who lived from 1869 to 1955) is a method than can provide you with freedom from aches and pains and give you poise and balance in everything you do in life. 

Most of us have developed mental and physical habits in order to cope with the stresses of life. These habits interfere with our natural co-ordination and poise. This causes physical and mental stress and produces discomforts such as backache, headache and anxiety. 

In a lesson, the teacher uses light touch to encourage tensions to release. She will guide you into a co-ordinated and balanced state in movement and stillness. 

The greater awareness of movement acquired helps prevent injuries normally caused by the incorrect use of our psycho-physical mechanism. Muscles are toned, in particular the strong, supporting back muscles that enable us to sit and stand for long periods. A greater freedom may be obtained in the joints and limbs, which together with the appropriate muscle tensions, provides a feeling of poise and lightness.

Alexander lessons will give you a feeling of relaxation and well-being and a technique that you will have for the whole of your life.
