Why use Alexander in education?
There are many good reasons to introduce Alexander's ideas to children and teenagers. Articles in the media increasingly report that young people are experiencing more backache, discomfort, stress and anxiety. Whereas education is often geared towards goal setting and exams, Alexander lessons help young people to take a step back, find resources within themselves, and achieve their goals more easily.
Much of what we regard as talent is actually co-ordination of body, mind and emotions. As children, through Alexander lessons, connect with the source of their mind-body co-ordination, their overall learning accelerates. They become more confident, resilient and able to think calmly and constructively when faced with life's challenges.
Give children conscious control and you give them poise, the essential starting point for education.
