The traditional way of learning the Alexander Technique is through a series of one-on-one lessons. During a lesson I will use my hands to guide you through movement to help you notice what your specific postural, movement and breathing patterns are and teach you how to direct cognitive changes which will lead to muscular release. We practice everyday movements such as sitting, standing and bending but also spend time applying the technique to the pupils own particular needs or interests. This could include any sporting activity, playing a musical instrument or how to work better in front of a computer, just to name a few. Part of the lesson will involve lying on your back on a table to explore the possibility of letting go of tension that you may not even be aware of.
I suggest people wear loose comfortable clothing avoiding skirts and singlets. The only item you will need to remove is your shoes.
