The
Alexander Technique helps you identify and prevent the harmful postural habits
that aggravate, or may be the cause of, stress, pain and under-performance. You
will learn how to release tension and rediscover balance of mind and body with
increased
body
awareness.
How
does the teacher do this? With the guidance of their hands you build up trust
in letting go into your support. With verbal contact you are able to bring your
attentiveness to your body. This is renewed throughout the session so you can
let go of your bag of worries which cause you to mind wonder into the past or
future. Our habits often present ourselves with a huge unachievable goal that
brings up anxiety or depression. With the teachers experience you are
introduced to the next stepping stone into which you can release and relearn
effortless poise which helps bring a sense of achievement and lifts your
spirit.
An
independent research carried out by Bristol
University showed that
Alexander Technique lessons have significant long term benefits for back pain.
An economic evaluation published in the British Medical Journal concluded that
Alexander Technique lessons are an effective and cost-effective option for the
NHS.
