This Alexander Technique Course introduces the basic principles of the Technique over 4 sessions and is for a Small Group.

Participants will be eligible for a Half-Price 1:1 Follow-up Lesson.

Description:

Start the New Year by letting go of some old habits that don't serve you!

This is an introductory course for beginners and will give you a basic outline of the main principles underlying the Alexander Technique, as developed by its founder, F M Alexander.

Through a series of enjoyable experiential games and discussion, you will become more self-aware and better understand your own body use and anatomy. You will also start the process of discovering how some of your habits interfere with the basic functioning of your body. 

You will learn how to apply the Alexander Technique and to begin to develop a different way of using your body for everyday activities such as sitting, standing, walking, picking up and putting down objects. You will also learn a lying down procedure which you will be asked to practice at home. 

As the group is small, you will be guaranteed some hands-on work with Hilary King, an experienced Alexander Technique Teacher and with Jeremy Cassidy, a graduate from LCATT who will be assisting on the course.

  •  Discussion of the Basic Principles of the Alexander Technique
  •  Experiential and Interactive Games
  •  Hands-on guidance
  •  Demonstrations

All participants may have a half-price follow-up 1:1 Alexander Technique lesson.

Although this lesson is optional, it is highly recommended as gives you the best chance to find out just what an individual lesson is like, when you will have Hilary's undivided attention. To get the best out of this lessons, it needs to be taken either during the course or in February.

Small Group - Max 6 people - so it is essential to pay in advance to reserve a place.

Dr. John Vorhaus (College Principal)

"I visited Hilary King's class, a one day Alexander Technique workshop (for assessment).

This was a graceful, fluent, assured and confidently managed class by a tutor who was both knowledgeable and an enthusiastic exponent of her art....

When adjusting and correcting posture, Hilary handles her students with great delicacy and feeling - she has a real 'feel' for the human body. Hilary herself has a marvellous posture which is a splendid example for students to follow.

Hilary never stopped either demonstrating an exercise, correcting a posture, or advising or instructing the students. She very clearly conveys her lively and serious interest in the subject. ( June 1997)"
