Poor posture isn’t something that happens to us, but something that we do to ourselves. Students of the Alexander Technique learn to stop causing the unnecessary muscular activity that leads to poor posture. “When you stop doing the wrong thing the right thing does itself” Alexander said.

Musicians often find that their performance improves dramatically in a lesson. Students learn to practice free of strain and the extra freedom and ease of movement translates into a more beautiful sound. Perhaps this is the reason why virtually all the world’s top music academies teach the Alexander Technique.

The Technique works to reduce the excess tension that can be exacerbating or even causing backaches.

When we speak in public it is very common for us to have our mind on things that stop us from giving our best performance. Wouldn’t it be better to learn a technique that helps you perform with your whole mind on the activity of speaking?

As you reduce unnecessary muscular activity you also get rid of the thoughts that created it. Alexander students get more clarity to their thinking and as a result feel more relaxed and in control.

Learning to direct yourself by reasoning instead of moving in stereotypical ways means you create the movements, fresh, each and every time. Movements become easier and shots sweeter. The energy saved from moving more efficiently can be used to raise your game and you’ll stop letting pressure points affect you.

You don’t have to have a ‘problem’ to gain from the changes in thinking, movement and behaviour that will come if you engage with this work. The mental disciplines that you learn can be taken into every area of your life allowing you improve all your activities.
