What is the Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique teaches us how to stop and reconsider our automatic behaviour of thought and movement.

We can learn how to let go of unnecessary tensions held for years and redirect our energies to a more balanced, easier and lighter way of being. We can begin to go about our life in a more thoughtful yet naturally poised way.

Alexander evolved his technique by methods of experimentation and observation that meet the strictest scientific standards. The effectiveness of the Alexander Technique is well documented and is increasingly recommended by doctors and most medical insurance companies will pay for lessons if these are prescribed by a consultant.

I teach Alexander Technique in Pentre-cwrt near Llandysul [on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday afternoon and Friday] and Carmarthen [on Thursday mornings]. Both are in Carmarthenshire.

Music, Drama and Sport
It is taught in music and drama colleges world-wide and is seen as an essential element in a performer's training. Sports people learn it to give them the awareness in activity they require and pregnant women use it to help them cope with the rapid changes that this time brings.
