Alexander Technique
HOW ARE THE LESSONS
One-to-one lessons:
Your teacher will use gentle hands-on guidance and verbal explanations to help you find ease and balance within yourself in simple movements and everyday activities – such as sitting, standing, walking or bending.Through experience and observation, you gain increased awareness enabling you to change long-standing habits and to function more efficiently.
In time, you will be able to use your new understanding and skill in more complex and demanding activities. You can bring awareness and poise to anything you do.The number of lessons you take can be discussed with your teacher and depends on your particular needs and goals. The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT) recommends to take at least 20 to 30 lessons in order to achieve some control over the use of your body.Lessons are 30 to 45 minutes long.
Group lessons:
These lessons are introductory. You start learning the principles upon which the Technique is based and evaluating your sensory awareness and your habits. The pupils are encouraged to develop constructive attitudes towards the use they make of themselves. Further progress requires one-to-one work.
Note: Our senses are used to our habits in a way that we could perceive the harmful as comfortable or right. That is why it is almost impossible to change those habits without a teacher who points out what are we really doing with ourselves. For the same reason, there are no valid "exercises" to practice on your own until the sensory system has been re-educated.
