Rediscover the Joy in every Movement

From Hugh Jackman and Judi Dench to Madonna, Sting, and Olympic Gold Medalists Linford Christie and Daley Thompson: actors, musicians, and athletes have known and trusted the alexander technique for generations. 

 

It's not just for elite performance though: research points to the effectiveness of AT in treating and preventing chronic back pain, and significant anecdotal evidence suggests that it also supports mental health: practitioners commonly report decreased anxiety, better stress regulation, and improved clarity of thought.

​

The Alexander Technique emphasizes mind-body unity, and students are encouraged to explore and understand the ways in which their patterns of thought and movement interact.

​

In a typical lesson, we will start lying down, where I will talk you through some basic instrucitons while offering gentle physical contact to help you let go of existing tension and reorganise yourself.  Depending on your needs, we will then practice the technique within simple movements, such as sitting and standing, walking, and as time goes by, more complex movements, such as singing, speaking, playing an instrument, dancing, typing, sport, or in roleplaying particularly difficult or stressful situations: wherever it is that you need support.

​

I also teach online, via Zoom, on the basis of Mio Morales' "Primal Alexander", a skill which I was able to perfect during the Corona Pandemic.  If you are far away from Hamburg, don't worry: distance is no barrier if you want to learn.
