I offer one-to-one lessons in 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 on a table in semi-supine (or 'active rest') while I 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, sitting in a saddle (not only useful for horseriders!), 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 and improved posture.
Lessons are at 3 Seymour Avenue in Worcester. They cost £35 each and last 40-45 minutes.
You will remain fully clothed throughout, so please wear comfortable clothes, incuding socks.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you wish to cancel a lesson, otherwise the full fee for a lesson is payable.
If you would like to book a lesson please call me on 01905 864354 or send me a message below. I always aim to reply within 24 hours, so if you do not receive a reply, please check your spam / junk folder. Thank you.
