How can Alexander Technique enhance your Yoga practice?
Our classes are small to ensure that your individual needs are met
Because of the specialised training of Alexander Technique teachers, individual problems are catered for.
The Alexander Technique work deals with you as an individual, employing yoga postures that work for you instead of trying to
adjust you to the posture.
Alexander Teachers are trained to use their hands to gently guide the student as they work
Habits vary from person to person, therefore you will learn to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses
About these classes
These yoga classes are run by yoga teachers who are also teachers of the Alexander technique.
In these classes we look at the application of the Alexander technique to this traditional discipline.
In particular we pay a good deal of attention to the way in which people move, rather
than how far they move.
People bring their habitual faulty patterns of movement to yoga practice, just as they do to every other activity of life.
The emphasis in these classes is on identifying dysfunctional movement patterns, and learning to move in a non-habitual and easier manner.
In these classes coordination is much more important than flexibility.
Hatha Yoga is an ancient system of harmonizing and centering mind, body and spirit.
The yoga postures or asanas were developed in a traditional Indian society, amongst a society without chairs and consequently
members of that society were more flexible in cross-legged sitting and squatting.
Rather than trying to get people to force their bodies into the shape of some of the classic yoga postures, we encourage people to
move in ways that promote an opening and freedom, without putting pressure on the neck, back or knees, areas that are often injured by
people trying to force their bodies into inappropriate movements.
