Lessons|
I
teach the Technique in a series of individual lessons, each lasting 40
minutes. During that time I use my hands very gently on your head,
neck, back and limbs to enable you to recognise and release any
unnecessary tensions and to redirect your energy.
Alongside
explanation of the principles and how they work, this gentle hands-on
guidance helps you apply the Technique to activities such as standing,
sitting and walking. As you learn, you then begin to introduce the
principles into other activities.
The
difference between the Alexander Technique and other therapies is that
you are an active participant. My goal is not just to help you
alleviate your current problems, but to equip you with the means for
preventing their recurrence. This is why your sessions with me are
'lessons' and you are a 'pupil'. The Alexander technique is a skill you
gradually learn for yourself.
Immediately
following a lesson, you will probably feel lighter and more agile, but
in a calmer mood. People often appreciate longer-term benefits after
just a few lessons. For a lasting skill in applying the Technique for
yourself, you would need a longer course, but you do not have to commit
yourself to any particular number of lessons.
Start with an
introductory lesson and see how it goes.
The
cost is £32 for a single lesson or £160 if you book a block
of six.
It's
best to wear loose comfortable clothes. You'll be asked to remove only
your shoes.
