Master Your Posture, Manage Your Stress With The Alexander Technique 28 February

All Events

Information

Transform the Way You Move and Live.  This transformative
course is rooted in the proven principles of the Alexander Technique and is
designed to help you move, sit, stand, and live with significantly greater
ease. By changing how you use your body, you can fundamentally change how you
meet the challenges of daily life. Throughout this weekly course, you will
learn to identify and release the unnecessary physical tension that contributes
to painful conditions, fatigue, and feelings of stress.

A
Gentle, Mindful Approach to Wellbeing Rather than focusing on
"fixing" your posture or straining overworked muscles, our
instructor, Andrea, will guide you through a process of gentle awareness and
practical exercises. You will learn how to stop the habits that interfere with
your body’s natural alignment, allowing a sense of balance and coordination to
emerge on its own. By replacing tension with more natural, efficient movement,
you can begin to address the root causes of musculo-skeletal pain rather than
just treating the symptoms.

Lasting
Benefits for Mind and Body the results of this practice extend far beyond the
classroom, often leading to improved movement, better sleep, and enhanced
breathing. Students frequently report developing calmer, more resilient responses
to stress and gaining practical tools that can be applied immediately to
everyday activities. Whether you are looking to reduce physical pain, manage
workplace tension and performance anxiety, or simply wish to move with more
freedom and confidence, these sessions offer a path to improved overall
well-being.

What
people say: 

Case
Study 1. "I was amazed that from the first session the pain in my
shoulders disappeared. I knew I held tension in my shoulders but Andrea showed
a way to release it with immediate effect. My posture has improved (though
could still be better) and has been commented on. I am seen as being more
upright & less hunched. After years of being told to stand up straight and
going on manual handling courses, the Alexander Technique has explained how my
body works and what it needs in a way I can understand and makes sense, which
allows me to actually change things for the long term. I wish I had found it
before. “AK

Case
Study 2. "I have tried various holistic therapies and expensive physiotherapy
to deal with multiple health problems and aches and pains. I have found that
the Alexander Technique is the only one that works for me, and with very little
physical effort on my part, quite the opposite – it’s very relaxing. The
technique has taught me safer ways to carry out a multitude of tasks without
causing pain and discomfort, giving me a better understanding of how my body
works and how these imbalances came into being in the first place." VL

Case
study 3, “This AT class has been a revelation to me and helped my physical
health and also had a huge beneficial impact on my mental wellbeing too. Cannot
recommend it enough. Anon
