Using a combination of hands-on work and verbal instruction, a teacher guides you through a range of everyday activities - walking, bending, sitting, breathing and talking.

During this process you become aware of inefficient patterns. Together you explore alternatives which do not involve habitual tension, collapse, imbalance or excess effort. Your occupation-related movements such as playing an instrument, singing, public speaking, using a computer or specific tools are also included.

An Alexander lesson is never painful; the teacher’s hands are always gentle. By the end of your first lesson you feel physically more comfortable and mentally relaxed.
