Lessons
Q & A:
How do I learn the Alexander Technique?
The only way to really learn AT is to
have a direct experience of it. That means having one-to-one
sessions with an accredited teacher. We generally recommend coming once a week. We have a lending library of over 30 books, for clients who are interested
in reading about AT.
What happens in a lesson?
In a lesson, we work with you to help
you develop more awareness in movement and at rest. We will use
both explanation and guiding hands to look at simple, everyday
activities like standing, walking, sitting, etc. Over time, students
learn to release tension, change old habits and improve their
coordination and balance.
Should I wear special clothes?
Wearing comfortable and fairly loose fitting clothing is preferable. All work is done fully clothed, without shoes.
Who comes for Alexander lessons?
Anyone can benefit from AT. Many people
come for lessons because they are experiencing aches and pains (for
example back pain, frozen shoulder or shoulder pain, neck tension,
frequent headaches, repetitive stress injury, painful knees etc).
Concern about posture is a common reason for people to come for AT
lessons.
How much is a lesson?
We charge $60 for a lesson, unless you sign up for 6 lessons and pre-pay $300.
