Hide-Introduction to Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a method of self-awareness on many levels. It is very simple and can be understood by anyone, yet at the same time it is very profound; It is a way of improving balance, posture and co-ordination. It can be very useful, for example to musicians who suffer from tension problems when playing their instrument. Many people think that the Alexander Technique involves improving posture by ‘sitting up straight’. Nothing could be further from the truth. It involves being aware and releasing the unconscious tension from our body allowing us to move through life with greater ease. It can dramatically help prevent or alleviate backache, neck pain, arthritis, insomnia, depression as well as a whole range of physical aches and pains that are so common in our society today. As these tensions are released, so are many of the thoughts that hold us back from being who we truly are. Emotions that may have been trapped within our body for decades can gently and safely be released. Many people find that the Alexander Technique helps their confidence and self-esteem, spontaneity, leading to greater contentment and a deeper love of life naturally grow.

By using the Alexander Technique you will learn how to move with gravity, instead of against it, thus achieving greater ease of movement which will in turn affect your mental and emotional outlook on life; you will feel calmer, less stressed and therefore have a greater control of your own life. ‘The Alexander Technique is a substantial addition to our very slender resources in personal education.’- George Bernard Shaw
