collapse throughout the body. Your Alexander Technique practitioner will guide you through movements that establish new neurological pathways and effect fundamental change in the whole system.

Your Alexander Technique appointment will be tailored to your needs and may consist of one or more of the following:

• Looking at the way you stand and sit - an activity we do hundreds of times a week, standing and sitting is a great way to look at habits of tightening we are unaware of. Clients learn to identify ways of achieving good posture in standing and sitting that are easy, light and natural.
• We work with you lying on a table - a great way for reducing stress levels and helping our clients discover and eliminate layers of unnecessary tension.
• Looking at activities in our clients’ lives - we observe and give expert guidance on activities as diverse as public speaking, running, weight lifting, working at the computer and more. Whatever your interest or high frequency activity we can help you get your body working in harmony.
