Lessons

The Alexander Technique is an educational method. In weekly individual lessons you will experience yourself with deeper awareness as your teacher helps you with her non-invasive intelligent touch and guiding words.

Wholeness

As we are aiming to integrate mind and body you will receive

~ information that pertains to your psycho-physical situation

~ instruction in general principles of the Alexander Technque, teaching you new thinking skills to  appoach life's challenges in different ways

~ meaningful individual hands-on guidance through restorative rest and movement.

How?

While you are wearing comfortable street clothes Alexander lessons are being taught on a table and in simple movements. Initially the table helps us to better understand how we react to stimuli without the complications of habitual reactions in uprightness. As time goes by more and more lesson time will be spent upright, in a chair, walking, climbing stairs and performing daily tasks.

How many lessons do I need?
Many people have a "feel good" experience even after one Alexander lesson. But long-term benefits require long-term commitment. When planning your course of lessons, here's a guide:

• Take 3 lessons before deciding if the Alexander Technique is right for you;
• Take 5-10 lessons to learn the basic procedures for working by yourself;
• Take 25-30 lessons to experience improvement you can sustain;
• Take a lifetime of lessons if you are committed to more than resolution of pain and are interested in the ongoing discovery of the self.

Groups

Occasionally classes are offered through Adult Education in surrounding communities. I also teach a regular group class in Cheshire on Tuesday afternoons.
