Alexander Technique around Manchester and Cheshire
Brill! My new blog. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks filling my (very little) spare time building my new 6 Step Plan for discovering the Alexander Technique basics.
My method involves really getting you into the learning process. So I’ve broken down some of the technical terms into easy-to-understand chunks.
In other words – Plain English!
Alexander used words like “Inhibition”, “Direction” and “Primary Control”.
When I start to teach using these words, most people glaze over. And that’s the last thing I want! So I use terms like these…
•Balance
•Letting Go
•The Stop
•Learning to Grow
•The Sweet Spot
•Stop, Grow, Grow and Go!
The result? The principles behind learning Alexander Technique become transparent. And after these 6 steps have been learned and directly experienced, only then do the subtler ‘Alexander Words’ start to make sense. So that’s when I introduce them. Not before.
I’ve found that by increasing direct experience of easy-to-understand principles, my clients pick up the Alexander Technique so much quicker than just treating each lesson as all-encompassing.
It also gives me more time to spend my first introductory lesson showing the benefits and helping you feel better straight away. You’d be amazed at the amount of people who find their first lesson has really helped with posture, or back and neck pain issues.
6 Step Plan
My AlexanderPlus 6 Step Plan also revolves around HOMEWORK. Arg! I hear you shout.
Just like learning to play the piano, or learning a martial art, Alexander Technique takes practice to learn well. So I make you read a fascinating book about how to learn the technique, I provide a CD to lie down and listen to, and some easy Alexander Technique Exercises, which are no-effort and easy for everyone.
This means you get to learn the Alexander Technique at your own pace – but always quickly, so you can get to the root of your problem and start enjoying life more!
