Learn to move with freedom! Alexander Technique is the technique for 'unlearning' postural and muscular habits that spoil our natural free-flowing movements. Students of Alexander Technique are proven to have more adaptable muscle tone and reduced occurrence of back pain.
I had my first lesson in 1992 to help with my piano playing which was plagued by tightness and aching. A few minutes into the lesson I could feel years of tension starting to unwind. And I soon realised the Alexander skills I was learning could be applied to pretty much anything. After a few years of lessons, workshops and working on myself I was still fascinated so I signed up to the three-year teacher training course. I graduated in 2013 and set up a practice in Manchester. I now teach in my studio in Todmorden, at the MATTS Alexander teacher training school in Wilmslow and sometimes in Marsden. I served on the Council of STAT, our professional society, 2016-2021. In my previous career I was a research engineer and Professor of acoustics and I am still intrigued by how Alexander thinking is so different to that in engineering. I particularly enjoy working with musicians because that's where I came from myself but anyone can benefit from Alexander training.
