Lessons at Barn Hill Alexander

At  Barn Hill Alexander,  lessons take place in a peaceful room overlooking a garden. Because each pupil is an individual, my  teaching is based on compassion and respect for their particular needs.

What happens in a lesson:  I take people through simple actions, getting into or out of a chair, lying down, walking.  These are  movements we make every day, and improving  them with the help of verbal and hands-on guidance can be energizing.

The hands-on work is a specific skill which Alexander teachers develop in the course of their training. It feels very gentle, but it can be powerful.

Gradually you undo old habits and allow yourself to move in a easier way without the help of the teacher. Many clients speak of a feeling of lightness, ease and effortlessness.  

How many lessons? Most people improve with even just a few lessons.  But  a course of fifteen to twenty-five is a better investment  -- the return is a wonderful lifelong skill: moving in a lighter and more fluid way. You can start by coming once a week, then space the lessons out as you gain confidence; this also spreads the cost. 

Between  lessons, you can also choose to join the Barn Hill Alexander Pupils Group and receive a free
Alexander tip by email.
