Would you like to improve your posture? Or learn practical strategies to ease pain? Or find more flow in your performance?

The Alexander Technique offers strategies that can progressively unlock your natural poise, vitality and freedom.

The Alexander Technique is a unique, 100-year-old self-help method which shows people how to identify and avoid habits that are ultimately harmful to their general health and wellbeing.

Classes do not involve physical manipulation; you are simply guided with gentle touch and suggestions for enquiry, in everyday activities such as walking, standing, sitting, bending and lifting, and in specific activities related to your work or hobbies.

Colin will help you to influence your habitual, day to day, reactions by becoming curious about your unconscious patterns of muscular activity; habits that you have developed over many years.

By taking a moment to pause, to let your breath out and to let go of any rigidity that might have crept into your nervous system, you can choose to allow your natural balancing and breathing mechanisms to support you, much more like they did when you were a young child, before you learned how to sit ‘correctly’ and how to stand up ‘straight’.

Many performers use the Alexander Technique to improve their performance and prolong their careers in sports, acting, singing, dancing and playing an instrument.

There is evidence that the Alexander Technique can be helpful for people suffering with long term neck and back pain. Also for people suffering with Parkinson’s disease. (See the NHS website)

There is also much anecdotal evidence that it can help with many other conditions. Get in contact and we can discuss if and how Alexander technique might help you.
