The first session begins at 5.30pm on the first day and the course ends at lunchtime on the last day.
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.
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.

Lake District Easter Holiday
If you are asking these sort of questions:
The Alexander Technique addresses the matter in an intriguing way and asks, “What do you not need to do?" In practising the
Alexander Technique you pursue another route. What muscle can you let go of? What can you release, right now in this moment?
How people go about doing things is often unconscious. Have you ever stopped to consider how you walk, how you move into a
chair or how you use your SELF when you communicate? This workshop is designed to bring to light unconscious muscular
holding patterns so that easier and more natural use of muscle can prevail.
On this three day course you will learn to find more of your natural support mechanism by letting go and releasing
unnecessary tension. You will learn to build core muscle strength by practising the skills of releasing and directing
yourself when at rest and in everyday activities.
