As well as introducing the basic principles of the technique, including inhibition and directions, I work individually with each participant, including some chair work, table work and going into "monkey".

Where time allows we look at the application of the technique to specific activities, such as using a computer, performing, sporting activities.

I aim to give partipants an understanding of what to expect when they come for individual lessons, and how learning the Alexander Technique may be relevant to their lives.

Groups are usually small (three or four people) and we stop for a cup of tea.
