Alexander Technique Workshop

Alexander Technique Introductory Short Course

A short Alexander Technique introductory course for beginners.

Summary:

This Short Introductory Course includes an individual follow-up lesson, to be taken within two weeks of the final Workshop. This format is designed to let you find out about the Alexander Technique, so that you can make an informed decision as to whether or not you would like to take a course of individual lessons.

Description:

Part of each fee will be donated to UNICEF's Emergency Appeal for helping children and their families affected by the Mayanmar (Burma) cyclone and the Chinese earthquake.

Come and test the ground and find out how the Alexander Technique can offer you a tool with which to help yourself get a back for life and gain a tool you can use in all your activities. Discover how you can help yourself reduce and manage conditions such as back pain, stress and RSI, so that you can get your life back. Importantly, you can also use the Technique to help prevent such problems from developing.

With the Alexander Technique you learn to let your body move more freely and easily, improve your performance and increase your sense of well being.

There will be gentle experiential exercises, demonstrations, multi-media presentations and ample time for discussion. As the group is small, you will be able to have some individual hands-on work with Hilary King, an experienced teacher. Refreshments will be provided for the first, longer, Workshop.

Hilary will be assisted by Eric Bell. a graduate teacher from LCATT, allowing the group to experience even more individual hands-on work.

1:1 Follow-up Lesson - this is included as part of the course, in order to give you a real sense of the depth of work that is possible during Alexander Lessons. Individual lessons are the only real way to learn the Alexander Technique and by experiencing one yourself, you will be able to discover how you can learn to bring about changes in the way you use yourself during your daily life. In order to gain the most from the follow-up lesson, it needs to be taken within 2 weeks of the final Workshop.

Small Group, with limited places, so please book in advance.

'Thank you so much for introducing me to the wonderful world of A/T, it has been a true highlight of 2007... and I am excited about my future with it. I feel the Technique giving me a balance and tranquillity which feels vital and growing, and that feels great.' (December 2007)
