What happens in a lesson?
My teaching room.
I offer one-to-one lessons in a lovely room in my home in Worcester, dedicated to teaching the Alexander Technique. In a lesson you will receive some gentle hands-on guidance and some verbal instruction. Some time will be spent exploring the everyday activities of sitting and standing and some time will be spent with you lying, fully clothed, on a table in semi-supine (also called "active rest" or "constructive rest") while my hands gently invite your musculature to release some of its unnecessary tension.
I am also happy to explore with you any specific activity of your choice. A few examples include walking, playing a musical instrument, giving a speech and working at a computer.
The lessons provide an opportunity to become aware of harmful patterns of muscular tension and an opportunity to respond differently to a stimulus instead of habitually.
The result is a calm, centred alertness, more freedom of movement, enhanced wellbeing, improved posture and more.
