Dear Kerin, Thank you for the helpful support just now, in my first Alexander Technique lesson. I feel a pleasantly relaxing effect and calm within myself. A gift! It leaves me feeling almost euphoric. Above all, I am grateful.

I came to the Alexander Technique in 2016 via a riding course, in which the main focus was on the seat. After the first day it was already clear to me what potential - in other areas of life as well - the Alexander Technique offers. I’ve been coming to you for about two years now and have recognised improvements in many areas. After over ten years, I am finally able to lie on my back with no complaints, riding difficulties have improved noticeably, I have a more relaxed approach to life and even my migraines have improved dramatically. Thank you, dear Kerin, for your support!

Thank you for the lesson. It was very effective and intense, almost overwhelming. Afterwards I am much more relaxed than before.

Dear Kerin, As I was driving home from my Alexander Technique lesson on Thursday, I was soooo relaxed that I missed the exit towards Hechingen. It wasn’t a problem though, I took a different route. At night I slept very deeply and soundly. I was frequently restless and slept badly previously. On the drive home from work yesterday, at first I was very tense and strained. I then thought of you and arranged myself with ease behind the steering wheel and the car drove as if by itself. The journey was effortless, even though I really don’t like such curvy roads. As I get older I also dislike driving long distances. Your words came to mind, e.g. “widening the hips, expanding the rib cage, the shoulders melting, releasing the neck.” I arrived home relatively relaxed, which I attribute to the Alexander Technique lessons with you. Thank you very much.

With the Alexander Technique I’ve learned to let go of the unnecessary in life. Kerin is very understanding and calm and I can only recommend her and her teaching style: go and try it out!

Dear Kerin, I would just like to tell you that I found the session with you yesterday to be important and fascinating. In the course of the evening I was constantly able to recognise habits of tension and to practise releasing them. I will happily come again and am curious how things will develop! Thank you!!!

Kerin, thank you SO much for your workshop last week at the Chicago AT Congress 2018, The Three Choices: Boundaries, Authentic and Mythical, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It was brilliant. For me, the simultaneous simplicity and sophistication of your workshop exemplifies the true essence of the Alexander Technique. Your facilitation of our journey together was well organized and supportive, leaving us room to make connections at whatever level of engagement for which we were ready. The sequence of invitations (stimuli), followed by discussion in each of the scenarios, spiraled continually around the essential kernel of what the Technique offers us: our moment to moment opportunity to renew in ourselves the power of choice based on truth, context, and options. Though apparently we “did” nothing, a deeper and renewed sense of empowerment continues for me. I’m still buzzing with excitement and possibility. Thanks again!

Dear Kerin, Alexander Technique – do I really need that? That was the first question I asked myself when we first met. I found the question to be justified after countless sessions of craniosacral therapy and Feldenkrais. What can the Alexander Technique give me that I don’t already know? Because of that, my astonishment at what happened in my first lessons with you was that much greater. I learned that Alexander Technique is more than movement training. It goes much further than that. Old tightly held and physiologically unfavourable movement patterns bid farewell with your guidance. I can repeatedly distinctly observe old emotions and blockades being held in my fascia, that I can quickly let go of in your studio. Through your sensitive, reserved and open manner you create a space in which even I can open up and trust your work, which is rarely possible for me with any sort of therapist. In the meantime, your ‘directions’ are frequently present in my day-to-day life and I can apply them very effectively in stressful moments. Yes, I have become an Alexander Technique junkie and have not only grown on the inside, but also on the outside – from 5’4” to 5’5”! It is unbelievable how positively your work has changed my life, my attitude and my posture. Alexander Technique is more than a school of movement – with you it is a school of life! I am very happy to have met you and your work! Thank you Kerin!

Hello Kerin, I took your workshop “The Three Choices: Boundaries, Authentic and Mythical, and the Pursuit of Happiness” at the Alexander Technique Congress this past summer in Chicago. I really enjoyed your workshop and the clarity of intention I had afterwards.

I’ve had three lessons with Kerin Black so far and I can recommend her highly as an Alexander Technique teacher. I have had a stiff neck and shoulders for many years and wanted help to alleviate the problem. I didn’t know much about the topic but Kerin introduced me to the work in a clear and accessible manner. My first three lessons were about giving me the experience of what happens when I can release my neck so that the rest of my spine can just relax underneath. The emphasis is on hands-on feedback and teaching me the basics so that I can apply the lessons to everyday actions like sitting, standing up, walking, and in my work as an acupuncturist (bending over patients, for example). It’s early days yet but I am hopeful that with time, I can be more aware of where muscular tension is coming from, and therefore work on releasing and moving with more ease and less stiffness. Thanks for all the encouragement and for explaining the Alexander work so patiently, Kerin!

The Alexander Technique enabled me to pay more much more attention to my wellbeing and to interact with my surroundings in a more relaxed manner, without allowing external factors to overwhelm me. Kerin’s patient teaching style helped me a lot in my learning.

After more than two years of Alexander Technique lessons with Kerin Black my posture has changed astonishingly, not only externally, but also my inner attitude towards challenging moments in life. I am now 2.5cm taller than my passport says, and I’ve also gained poise! My confidence and self-esteem have also grown immensely. My alignment from the soles of my feet to the top of my head displays my stability in life, and my muscles are no longer compensating for my slumped posture. Through my increased confidence my life has developed in the direction I’ve always wished for - both professionally and privately. The times are now over, where I felt small and bent myself every which way to accommodate. When I started lessons with Kerin I had no idea that the Technique would bring so many positive changes in life, in addition to freedom from my physical limitations. Thank you Kerin, for being you.
