Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a practical tool for improving your performance. It works by helping you stop getting in your own way, sharpening your thinking so you do what's required of you, and no more.
What happens in a lesson?
In the first lesson we start with something simple like sitting. After that, we explore the activities that are most important to you: walking, giving a presentation, playing an instrument. Through conversation and hands-on work, we clear what's getting in your way. With sharper thinking and less interference, you do what's required, and no more.
Who is it for?
Professionals, performers and athletes who want to close the gap between their ability and their performance. And anyone else who suspects they are capable of more than is currently coming through.
How many lessons will I need?
That depends on what you're working on and how quickly you pick things up. Some people notice meaningful changes within a few lessons. Most find that a course of 10 to 20 lessons gives them a solid foundation. After that, many continue with lessons to deepen the work.
Do I need to wear anything special?
No special clothing is required.
Where do lessons take place?
I teach in Islington, London. I can also come to your home or office. For groups and workshops, I'm happy to travel.
