The Alexander Technique takes its name from a Australian actor, FM Alexander (1869-1955). By solving his own vocal and breathing problems he made discoveries about postural reflexes universal to free and integrated movement in everyone.

He developed a process that people could learn so that they could let their balance, movement, thinking and feeling be clearer and more effortless.

Try an introductory session

Lessons are taught one-to one and last 30 minutes. (The first one is an hour).

During a lesson, you get gentle manual and verbal guidance in lying down, standing, sitting, breathing, walking, speaking and other simple tasks.

These simple activities form the basis of everyday existence, therefore it is necessary to become aware of any undue and habituated tension that might already be happening at this level.

The more you develop this awareness, the easier it will be for you to unravel and prevent these tensions.
