What to expect in a lesson
- Expect to use your mind - the Alexander Technique is 'thinking in activity.' Good thought makes for good movement.
- Expect to learn something, not to receive treatment. The Alexander Technique does have therapeutic benefits, but my aim is to teach you how to help yourself.
- Expect to move and wear clothing that will allow freedom of movement.
- Expect to remove your shoes, but nothing else - except your coat and hat of course!
- Do not expect to learn exercises
- Do not expect to be manipulated
- Do not expect the 'no pain, no gain' approach - the Alexander Technique is gentle and non-intrusive
- Expect to enjoy learning better co-ordination and balance
- Expect to learn how you create tension, and more importantly, how you can release it.
- Expect to get things wrong and laugh about it
- Expect to not try too hard
- Finally, expect change!
