What Happens in a Lesson?

The Alexander Teacher uses touch and gentle guidance with the hands to give the pupil the experience of better movement and posture. A typical lesson may include learning simple activities like standing, sitting, walking, bending, voice and breathing work. The pupil also may lie on a table, in the classic Alexander semi-supine position, experiencing the teacher's touch.

Not manipulation, massage, or exercises, the Alexander Technique is unique in its use of educational touch. A form of learning, it requires the active participation of the pupil.

The Alexander Technique is a pre-technique.
Pupils learn skills which can be applied to any activity.

Lessons are individual and last 45 minutes; at least one lesson a week is needed in the early stages. The number of lessons needed varies from person to person and depends on their needs and goals. People can benefit from as few as six lessons, but more may be needed.

"In the past, after I had been sitting for an hour or more, I would get up like an old person, stiff and with an aching back and legs. Now, after Alexander lessons, I get up and walk off like a much younger person - and no aches and pains!!"
