Barn Hill Alexander

Director:  Dr. Yvette Daoust MSTAT

Barn Hill offers Alexander technique lessons in a pleasant quiet house in north Wembley, with an experienced teacher.  Because it is now well-established, pupils come  from Kenton, Kingsbury, Harrow, Pinner, in fact all areas of north west London. A gift voucher for a lesson at Barn Hill  makes an unusual gift.

The Alexander Technique is a way of moving more thoughtfully.  As toddlers we move with grace and economy, but as we get older most of us start to stiffen, twist or droop.  Often these habits are occupational, computer neck for example.  Usually they become so ingrained we aren't aware of them until we develop pain or feel over-tired. Ignoring these signs can lead to repetitive strain injury.     

Alexander lessons help you use your own built-in mechanisms for coordination, balance and posture, and to rediscover your natural poise.                                         

 





 Thinking up!

 

What surprised me was the gentleness of pace. I was rather dreading lots of exercises. The mix of thought and action suits me well. Enough material to take away and work into my day.

They can also help you take care of your back, avoid strain, manage stress and move more gracefully. A major study published by the British Medical Journal in 2008 demonstrated significant long-term benefit from Alexander technique lessons for low back pain.

By applying the technique you use your energy more efficiently. Because you waste less energy tensing up,  you have more to spend on your loved ones, on your work, on what you value most in life.
