What Happens in an Alexander Technique Session?


During your session there are no exercises, and discomfort is very unlikely. We look at simple movements (such as sitting and standing) and how these can be accomplished using less effort, employing your natural balance and poise. Some time will also be spent on the table exploring “constructive rest” which allows gravity to gently realign the spine. Throughout the session, support is provided by highly skilled, subtle hands on guidance.

You will not be required to remove any clothes, just your shoes. You will not be asked to do anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. There is no hierarchy of a doctor – patient relationship. These sessions involve co-operation between the client and practitioner. All you need to do is be attentive to what is going on inside yourself as we gently adjust your balance and coordination. This will hopefully give you the trademark lightness of an Alexander session, and you will leave feeling taller, more free and released of the tensions that have been pulling you down.
