Alexander Technique

Discover how the Alexander Technique can help you move, think and respond with greater ease, freedom and awareness in everyday life. 

In this 2-hour workshop, you'll be introduced to the practical principles of the Alexander Technique through simple guided explorations and everyday activities. 

Many of us develop habitual ways of moving, thinking and reacting that can lead to unnecessary tension, discomfort and effort. The Alexander Technique helps us become aware of these patterns and discover new possibilities. Small changes in how we use ourselves can have a surprising effect on how we move, feel and engage with daily life. 

People often come to the Alexander Technique because of tension, pain or poor posture, but its benefits can extend far beyond physical comfort. Many find they become calmer, more grounded, more present and more able to respond to life's challenges with greater choice and ease. 

Whether you spend long hours at a computer, experience tension in your neck, shoulders or back, perform or speak in public, or are simply curious about moving through life with greater ease, this workshop will offer practical insights you can begin applying straight away. 

Suitable for all ages and backgrounds. No previous experience is needed.

Testimonial

"I went to Sue after many months of unresolved neck and upper back pain. I didn’t know much at all about the Alexander Technique, but Sue was recommended and I was willing to try anything. Sue’s engaging and pleasant manner, together with her knowledge and way of explaining the technique in a simple and straightforward manner, soon dispelled any reservations I may have had that the sessions wouldn’t help me. After only a few lessons with Sue I could feel myself frequently thinking about how I was moving and using my body as I went around my everyday life. This led to me being able to reduce the amount of unnecessary tension which I was holding in my neck and upper back, which led to less pain. Thanks to Sue, not only do I now have no pain, but I have a much greater awareness of how my body feels and moves. I would highly recommend her."
