Lessons & Workshops

Taster sessions
Try the Alexander Technique for yourself.  Call to arrange a single lesson without obligation.    

Regular lessons
The Technique is a learning process and you will find it well worth your investment of time and money.  Most students take lessons over several months or a year to achieve permanent improvement and you can benefit for the rest of your life.

Individual lessons are the best way to learn and the easiest to organise.

Postural assessments

15 mins. for £10 will give you an idea of your needs.

Introductory courses

From time to time a single workshop will be held to provide an introduction to the technique. Anyone can attend one of these workshops by booking a place (see contact details below). Typically there will be 6-7 participants.


Other courses

Improve your speaking voice (by arrangement)

A 10-week course that will increase your confidence by teaching many aspects of public speaking, whether for interview, amongst a group of colleagues or in a large hall. It will cover technique, conversation, recitation and performance.

Improve your eating habits (by arrangement)

This course is not about going on a diet. You will not have to weigh yourself! It is a very gradual process of improving your diet for the sake of improving your health, combined with awareness of the way in which you eat and how your habitual ways may be affecting what and how much you eat.

By paying attention to this 'means whereby' instead of 'end-gaining' by going on a 'diet', you may find that your figure improves and that your weight reduces without as much effort as restricting your intake.

Small group courses (max 4)

These courses are designed for people who wish to attend for self-improvement or who are just curious. The times and days of the week depend on mutual availability. Please register your interest by contacting Angela – classes begin when four people, who are available at the same time, have registered.

What is the Alexander Technique?

  The course covers the origins of the technique and the basic concepts: Use, the Force of Habit, Unreliable Sensory Awareness, End-gaining, Inhibition, the Means Whereby, Direction and Directions, the Primary Control and Psychophysical Unity. The classes will contain both theoretical and practical work and are an ideal introduction to the technique.

Improve your posture class

This is the most popular subject, so the classes will be held along these lines unless there is an expression of interest in one of the other topics mentioned above. The course covers all the classical procedures of the technique. You will learn to improve your standing, sitting, walking and the use of the arms and hands.

Discovery Club for children (age 5 upwards)

A maximum of six children and one parent per child play games that increase awareness and prevent the bad habits that evolve gradually to lead to back and other problems as adults. THis is fun and it is the best preventive medicine you can provide for your children, as well as being educational.
