Weekend workshop: Fellside development Course
Change involves carrying out an activity against the habit of life.
There is no such thing as a right position, but there is such a thing as a right direction.
The Fellside Development Course provides a unique opportunity to explore the Alexander Technique
in depth. The Technique is the main vehicle of the Development Course, underlying every aspect
of the course. Much of the considerable experience and ways of communicating the Technique at
Fellside is employed.
Working deeply with the Alexander Technique forces us to revise our idea of ourselves and
therefore how we experience the world. On this development courses we do this in a safe and
supportive environment. The Alexander Technique is developed with teachers hands-on contact and
there will be voice, movement, Living Alexander Anatomy, Individual sessions and other
activities. It is an opportunity to develop more choice about our responses and more congruency in our expression.

with Michael Hardwicke et al
Sunday 10.00am to 5.00pm
Monday 10.00am to 4.00pm
On this three day course you will learn to find more of
your natural support mechanism by letting-go and releasing
unnecessary tension.
The approach is practical and experiential; the course aims to give you an enriching practice
for your daily life.
FM Alexander discovered a practical and enhancing way
of coordinating body and mind in all activities. By
consciously directing the way we move instead
of relying on habit we can change the way we
use our muscular system and avoid strain,
tension and fatigue. Practising the
Alexander Technique brings more
efficiency to our movements, an expansion
of our attention and gives us a basic principle
that we can apply to many areas of our lives.
Fellside Alexander School is situated in a 19th Century building with
panoramic views over the medieval market town of Kendal,
surrounded by the hills of the English Lake District.
Michael Hardwicke has been running courses at Fellside
Alexander School for the public for over sixteen years
and is the Co-Directorof the Alexander Training
Programme. He continues to be excited and
rewarded by the discoveries of F.M. Alexander
and how they can be made accessible for people.
There is a good range of accommodation available including B+B, guest houses, hotels, farmhouses
and in the school itself. Other alternatives and lists can be provided and help given to find
something suitable. The school has a good kitchen/cafe area where some meals can be taken
together.

The course provides an opportunity to explore how the
Alexander Technique can help us find an easier, more
free and effective way of going about our lives.
The course works well as an introduction to the
Technique and a good refresher for those already
involved in this approach to life. The course will
use a variety of approaches to understand
the principles of the Technique and how we can
integrate them into our lives. An important feature
of the course is to give a clear understanding of our
structure. This more accurate body sense makes it
a lot easier to assimilate and apply the Technique.
Each participant will receive two individual sessions.
