The Alexander Technique is a revolutionary method of physical and emotional re-education and is perfect for our times. Devised by Australian Frederick Mathias Alexander after recurrent hoarseness and lack of vitality, it is a powerful tool for alleviating tension patterns which so often lead to ailments including fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability and numerous aches and pains.
As young children we move with natural poise, but the constant strains of modern life alter us physically and mentally. As time passes we begin to use our bodies incorrectly and we lose our inborn grace and vitality.
"It is by now a plain brute fact that the Alexander Principle works. It is also a plain brute fact that most of the population need it but know nothing of it." Dr. Wilfred Barlow, 1990.
So what is the answer? We can re-learn to use our bodies as nature intended and re-discover the freedom of our childhood. The Alexander Technique offers us the choice to change acquired habits and release mental stress and muscle tension to regain the natural harmony of the body. But that is not all. The Technique can also promote and preserve vitality and well being, improve our posture and poise and enrich our lives and relationships. Many well known personalities have benefited from Alexander lessons, including John Cleese, Kenneth Brannagh, Mary Steenbergen, Paul McCartney and Bonnie Langford.
"This story of perceptiveness, of intelligence and persistence shown by a man without medical training, is one of the true epics of medical research and practice." Prof. Nikko Tinbergen, Nobel prizewinner in medicine.
