Alexander Technique
       
   

The Alexander Technique is a way of a re-learning how you move and use your body. 


‘Stop doing the wrong thing and the right thing will do itself,’ wrote F.M. Alexander after he discovered, through a long process of detailed self-observation, the importance of maintaining a balanced, dynamic relationship between the head, neck and back.

Through explanation and guiding touch, you will re-discover poise, balance and ease within yourself. By working on simple everyday activities, such as sitting, standing and bending, you will learn how your co-ordination works and where you create tension. 
You will learn how to improve the way you use your body. This awareness will enable you to change long-standing habits and function more efficiently. 
You will also lie in a semi-supine position on a couch to release your limbs, realign and rejuvenate. Bliss!
