Testimonials

“I’m so glad that through the Technique I saw the need for lightness.  Without this, I don’t think I’ll be able to make further progress in Tai Chi.”
WW
“I felt so revitalized after the lesson.  I have been feeling taller and people are asking me if I am wearing high heels! People see my posture change and my new uprightness.”
KP
“We teach people to become aware of the unnecessary strain and over-tension they make in everything they do, so that they need not continue to misuse themselves in this way.”
Marjory Alexander Barlow
“My cello and piano teachers have noticed improved sound.  It was previously defined as ‘miniscule’ and now they are saying it is ‘expressive’.”
GD
“The Alexander Technique makes a real difference to my often tense and busy life. Its thoughtful approach has made me calmer, improved my concentration and given me a clearer sense of well-being.”
JB
“The use of the body in proper poise ensures the least friction and consequently the greatest amount of energy available for what may be required of the individual.”
Raymond Dart, Anthropologist
“I have less pain.  I can differentiate whether it is pain from something I am doing, how I am sitting or standing, or if I did something for too long and need to change.”
KP
“97% of people with back pain could benefit by learning Alexander Technique. Only a small minority of back pain sufferers require medical intervention such as surgery.”
Jack Stern, spinal neurosurgeon
“By balancing and neutralising tensions, I’ve learnt to relieve as well as avoid the aches and pains caused by the thousands of natural shocks that flesh is heir to.”
Kevin Kline, actor
“Everything has changed…not only my cello sound…but also my approach to my body, shoulders, neck, back and the way I walk, all of which influences the way I think.”
GD
