Alexander Technique
Alexander Technique is an education in finding a more helpful relationship between awareness (mind) and body which can be applied in daily life.
This can indirectly bring about an improved sense of wellbeing, promote healing of persistent chronic pains and discomfort and enhance performance in the specialist areas of the arts and sport.
What happens in an Alexander lesson?
Learning takes place through practical hands on guidance from the teacher combined with verbal dialogue. The client will be fully clothed during a lesson and as this is a learning process the number of lessons required will depend on the individual. This can be discussed and reviewed as we go along.
Who benefits?
People with pain and discomfort. There has in recent years been some data published from Randomised Controlled Trials indicating some measurable benefit for those suffering from back and neck pain.
Patients with Parkinsons disease and hyper mobility issues have also been recommended Alexander lessons.
The Technique has long been included in actors and musicians training.
Others come seeking a better sense of wellbeing in their lives.

Testimonials
I have been taking Alexander Technique lessons with Pauline Wetherell for over a year, and would heartily recommend both the Technique itself and Pauline as a teacher. Among her many notable qualities are her patience and kindness - beneficial traits for a teacher in any subject I would say, but especially so with regard to the Alexander Technique, as an integral part of it could be seen as learning to develop patience with and kindness towards oneself. Pauline is exceptional at encouraging and instilling the combination of calmness and attentiveness that engaging with Alexander work entails. My decision to take lessons had to do with both my work as a musician and a more general desire to develop a more productive and less conflicted relationship with my physical self, and I've greatly appreciated Pauline's thoughtfulness and insights with regard to the Technique's potential pertinence to these types of issues and ideas, as well as her skill and subtlety at addressing them through direct hands-on work. I have received great benefit from my lessons with her both as a musical performer and in my general day-to-day life, and look forward to continuing and deepening my engagement with Alexander work.
