This is not a therapy but a learning process. Thankfully, its not
a book learning, its actually mind and body learning. With the help
of the Alexander teacher you learn how to improve your breathing,
balance, co-ordination and movement. You learn how to release tension
and stimulate a lengthening of your muscles. This lets you move
more freely and easily. It is a skill and learning it can take a
little time, remember when you first learned to ride a bike and
you had to learn to co-ordinate your legs, arms and balance ? With
practice, the Alexander Technique becomes part of your and you wonder
how you ever managed without it.
Lessons
In a lesson the teacher uses their hands to guide your muscles
towards a state of ease and freedom. The touch is very gently,
you don’t need to undress and there is no manipulation.
Explanations are given to teach you to use yourself more freely
and easily. It’s not a massage all the teachers hands do
it influence you to work with what was you have told in the lesson
and integrate this into your life.
