One-to-one Lessons
A typical lesson consists of two parts:
1) The pupil spends time lying on a table in semi-supine, while the teacher uses her hands and verbal instructions to encourage the release of excess muscle tension.
In this position, the back and joints can be completely balanced and unburdened, allowing the spine to find its natural length and elasticity.
2) We will also observe and explore the pupil’s use of themselves in a daily activity, such as sitting and standing or walking.
With the help of verbal instruction, as well as gentle hands-on guidance, the pupil begins to develop an improved awareness of themselves and their environment at all times.
The pupil learns to let go of unintentional habits of movement, coordination and posture and discovers new possibilities within these realms, allowing them over time to act and react as they would like to with greater efficacy.
One-to-one lessons take place at my home in Mill Hill NW7 or at your location on request.
Group Classes
I offer Alexander Technique classes in north London for small groups of 6 to 12 participants. The courses consist of a series of 10 group lessons of 60 or 90 minutes.
Groups are suitable for everyone, regardless of prior experience with the Alexander Technique.
Dates, times and venue will be confirmed on a rolling basis, as and when there are enough participants to begin a new course.
Private classes are also available. If you have a group of three or more people, I can either arrange a suitable venue, or meet you in your own suitable space space. These can take the form of anything from a one-off session to a series of regular lessons, tailored to your group’s needs and wishes.
Workshops and Seminars
These can be general introductions to the Alexander Technique, refresher or advanced courses, or can have a specific theme. Common examples are Alexander Technique and yoga, running or horse riding, Alexander Technique for musicians, for tango dancers, for golfers, or for wellbeing in the workplace.
I also offer one-off or regular professional development courses for teachers.
Each workshop will be tailored to the needs of the individual group and can be held in a corporate or private setting.
