Alexander Technique Yoga

Do you experience persistent muscle aches and stiffness? Suffer from back or neck pain or have ‘computer slouch’? This could be for you. The Alexander Technique was invented in the late 19th century by an Australian actor named F. Matthias Alexander. When doctors had no answer for his chronic laryngitis, Alexander’s own research led him to understand that his voice was affected by excess tension held in his neck and body. Employing gentle but effective techniques and movements, he was able to cure himself and soon developed a method to teach others. After moving to London his clients included luminaries such as George Bernard Shaw, Lady Churchill, Aldous Huxley and the Bishop of Canterbury!
Alexander Technique is a practical method that can restore our natural poise by teaching us how to recognise, and then prevent, habitual patterns of holding tension. It can relieve pain, improve posture and enhance the way we move and use our bodies.
