__WHAT IS THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE?
The demands of modern life lead most of us to accumulate patterns of unnecessary tension and strain. These patterns tend to creep in so gradually that they feel normal to us: we notice them mainly when they begin causing pain, or interfere with things we want or need to do.
The Alexander Technique is a learning process that aims to make us more aware of how we move through the day. It offers tools to transform habits that we discover to be unhelpful. By addressing these habits at a psycho-physical (mind/body) level, it restores greater ease of movement, improves coordination and balance, and allows us to navigate with a greater sense of confidence and choice.
Because the Alexander Technique involves principles, rather than a set of exercises, it can be applied to any number of activities. By bringing greater awareness to how we do things, we can increase our overall ease and efficiency, which frees us up to reach our full potential and to achieve our goals.

"Pupils learn the skill of finding breathing space in their busy lives, and being responsive to demands without being overwhelmed."
