Book Your Intro Session - £45Why Teachers Need Alexander Technique
There's something about the workload and stress of teaching that means Alexander Technique can really help. Most teachers complain of backache, neck pain, stress and tiredness, and a lot of this comes from constantly leaning in to attend to pupils, giving them your full attention. Giving your full attention to your pupils leaves no attention for yourself.
One of James's core teaching methods is helping teachers learn to be aware of the relationship between their head, neck and back, the foundation of everything. There are no exercises. It's simply a matter of learning to give attention to yourself while you teach, so you stop the painful pulling down that spoils your posture and leaves you hunched over.
Top 5 Benefits
Feel less tired after a hard day
When you move with less effort and tension throughout the day, you arrive home with more energy left. You can actually enjoy your free time.
Better posture, less back, neck and arm pain
Proven in an NHS-funded trial to reduce back pain days by 86%. When the relationship between head, neck and back is right, everything else follows.
Look and feel better
Good posture is one of the biggest contributors to how we look and how we feel about ourselves. When you stop pulling down, you stand naturally taller and more at ease.
Stop being the slave of habit
Alexander Technique shows you how to move with more grace and awareness, so you break the automatic postural habits that cause so much discomfort in the classroom.
Stay calm, composed and stress-free
Alexander Technique feels good, physically and mentally. Teachers who learn it regularly report feeling calmer throughout the day and more able to enjoy life after school hours.
INSET Days & Staff Workshops
James also delivers Alexander Technique INSET days and staff workshops. Previous clients include Aquinas College, the University of Manchester, and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.
