The Alexander Technique

‘The best thing you can do in any moment to improve your quality of quality of being.’

The Alexander technique helps you change the way you respond and move so that tension and pain are reduced and your body returns to a more balanced state.

Your teacher will:

  • Observe the way you move while sitting, standing, walking
  • Provide tools and ways to help you move in a new way
  • Assist you with gentle manual guidance to develop new habits of moving

With the teacher’s guidance, the pupil develops an awareness of the subtle relationship that exists between their mind and their body. They learn to notice their immediate responses and to choose how to respond to them. In the process of creating a space to choose how or if to respond, a pupil or client may ‘unlearn’ or ‘undo’ what may be not be helpful for them and discover new ways of moving.

“The Alexander sessions have had a noticeable impact on lowering my level of pain. The follow up exercises have taught me to use my body in a manner that means I am not putting undue pressure on my back. Since attending these weekly classes I am now able to complete tasks that I was unable to do when I started.

Tasks such as putting on my shoes and tying the laces, shaving my legs in the shower, get out of a chair with ease, playing golf with no pain and sitting at my desk without having crippling pain when I stand.

I enjoy having the benefit of Juliet’s experience and would recommend her without hesitation.”
