The Alexander Technique

I am a qualified Alexander Technique teacher in North London providing in-person lessons, online lessons and group workshops.

The Technique, developed by F. M. Alexander (1869 -1955), is a practical method of self-help which you can learn to use for your health and well-being.  It is taught in many schools and colleges and is widely used in all areas of the performance arts.

It is important to know that the AT is a learning process. It is not psychotherapy, nor is it a treatment. AT teachers do not offer you a diagnosis, so please visit your GP if you need to find out what conditions you may want to address.

In Alexander lessons, you learn to stop any unhelpful habits and general misuse that interfere with the way your body is designed to work, so that you can move more freely and easily. This can help you to improve your poise and performance, reduce pain and tension, plus increase your sense of well being. (ATEAM Research Trial BMJ 2008;337:a884).

For more information, you can read more about what the Alexander Technique is and how it can help you approach everyday activities in a less strained and stressful way. I also have a collection of articles about the Technique plus a Glossary of AT and related terms. You can also browse my selection of recommended Books, videos and DVDs in my Shop.

What can the Alexander Technique help with?

So, what is the Alexander Technique used for? As a seasoned Alexander teacher, I can offer you lessons which can help you prevent and alleviate problems such as stress, tension, poor posture and back pain. My own experience and that of many pupils shows that using the AT during daily activities can aid rehabilitation after illness, injury or surgery and can complement traditional allopathic approaches. Alexander lessons can also provide coping skills to help with chronic conditions.  It is not a cure-all but there is an increasing level of scientific research to support the anecdotal evidence about the benefits AT work can offer you. Pregnant mothers, performers and athletes learn it and use it – anyone can benefit!
