|| Alexander Technique ||
Developed by F. Matthias Alexander in 1894 this technique is essentially a re-educative self-help system that promotes better health by improving posture, coordination and breathing. It is used by people from all backgrounds and all ages both in the arts, in offices and businesses, at home and in all sporting activities. Doctors frequently recommend a course of lessons to their patients to assist with poor posture, whiplash injury, all kinds of back problems (including slipped discs) or with respiratory troubles. Many well known celebrities and performers take lessons to manage stress and improve their performance in whatever they do.
Alexander Technique gives you a totally new experience of yourself – a harmonious integration of body and mind. Unconscious tension is released, you feel lighter, gain more life energy, move with greater freedom and breathe more deeply. The self-help method teaches you greater consciousness of your posture, breathing, thinking and movement patterns. This has a therapeutic effect as you come in touch again with your kinesthetic sense.
|| Benefits ||
It is widely used by people to:
1. Help relieve pain
2. Improve performance and coordination in any activity
3. Prevent injury and fatigue
4. Release unnecessary tension
5. Find a balanced, flowing, and powerful expression of self
6. Improve and enhance the practice of artists like actors, musicians, dancers, and performers
People who have prior experience with Alexander Technique are welcome to participate, to further their individual journeys with the work. The nature of the work is not linear, and it is of great benefit to revisit the work for those wishing to continue and strengthen their practice.
The facilitator, Robin John Simmons, has limited the course to an intimate 15 people so he can give each student proper attention. Please reserve your spot in advance.
