As this is a skill-building methodology, I offer an initial 6-session programme to give you the chance to develop a good skill-base that should make a real difference in your everyday life and give you long-lasting effects. As with learning any skill, the more you practice and explore it, the more you will get out of it and the deeper and broader your understanding and application will be.

As it’s not an exercise class, you’ll just need to wear everyday comfortable clothing that you have freedom of movement in. And I will be able to assess your posture and your movement without you needing to get undressed at any point.

Traditionally, people have come on their own, but I also offer sessions for two people to experience the Alexander Technique together. It can be really interesting for people to share their learnings, and their observations after sessions. Being each other’s accountability partner can also help to embed good practices ongoing. If you would like to come as a larger group, please get in touch so we can talk through your options.

No, the Alexander Technique is more about thinking than doing. However, it does complement exercise classes, yoga, Pilates, running and so on, by helping you to understand how to move more easily and to think about your whole body, not just individual muscles. Many professional sports people have had Alexander Technique lessons to learn how to prevent injury. It’s also wonderful for older people in general, and for anyone who has had an injury that makes it more difficult to walk, run or cycle - learning the safest way of moving can build up strength and mobility, helping you to get back to activities you enjoy.

If you cancel with more than 24 hours’ notice, you will not be charged for your session and we can reschedule to another time. If it’s less than 24 hours' notice, you will be charged the full amount.

In this friendly class that’s suitable for all levels we explore gentle movements, discover how to change unhelpful habits and enjoy a deep relaxation. Each week we will explore a different theme. I include a mixture of mindful relaxation and gentle exercises and games using Alexander Technique principles.

As the classes are small, I would advise you to book in advance (you can book online on this link) to avoid disappointment, or you can take a chance on dropping in and hoping there’s a space free. Classes cost £12 per session.

Wear loose, comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat and a yoga block, or a handful of paperback books, to rest your head on.
