See what a previous workshop participant said
“I signed up to one of Hilary’s introductory workshops. Her emphasis in the workshop was on stress relief… Hilary’s observations about how we sit and stand and how our bodies behave when our minds become stressed struck a chord with me. I also found sitting on a stool for quite a long time without a back support in the way Hilary taught us – balancing on my sitting bones, finding the exact right curve in my spine that did not ache after a while – was unbelievably comfortable. I decided to interrupt my Pilates lessons and give AT a go (and in the event I have not had an Osteopathy treatment since then either).

Teaching Assessment Report – the Mary Ward Centre
“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. Hilary has a calm and assured teaching persona, and her oral instruction was strikingly fluent and measured… The style is characterised by a tutor whose presence is alert, erect and graceful, and who never ceases explaining, describing, correcting and encouraging… Hilary never stopped either demonstrating an exercise, correcting a posture, or advising or instructing the students. She clearly conveys her lively and serious interest in the subject.”
Prof. John Vorhaus
