“Walk in Balance” Workshops – discover the joy in movement

This series of 4 workshops will focus on your walking.

To take part you must have had some Alexander Technique experience, having completed an Introductory Course or had some private lessons.

Most adults have lost the natural freedom in their walking that they experienced as a child. Walking can become heavy, stiff and uneven and often cause back, hip, knee or ankle problems.

These workshops will teach you how to find your “up” as you learn to lengthen your spine and correctly balance your head. You will learn how to be freer in your ankles, knees and hips and use your feet correctly to dissipate jarring to the joints and back. You will learn how to move your legs without causing unnecessary muscle tension, and pain in your back. Come along, have fun, make friends and learn to “walk in balance” again.

Small groups only

Ongoing Alexander Sessions – don’t lose your “forward and Up!”

These sessions are for people who have had some private Alexander Lessons (at least 10) and would like to meet up as a group to have hands-on guidance again.

We shall explore Alexander’s principles of Direction, Inhibition and Being in the Moment. We shall remind ourselves not to end-gain, and to use our Means-whereby. We will practice our sitting, standing, walking and bending and find time to do some lying down in semi-supine. There may be some specific activities that you would like me to help you with.

We shall discuss and share Alexander experiences over tea and biscuits!
