  Workshops

Workshops are a great way to introduce the Alexander Technique to a group. I run introductions in London for anyone to attend. I also do workshops for businesses and new mothers.

  • Excellent - going home to implement changes right now

  • Very useful and well-presented

[comments from the National Conference of the Society of Editors and Proofreaders]

Engaging people in their own learning process, key to the Alexander Technique, is also the key to a successful workshop. Using all of the learning styles - aural, oral, visual and kinesthetic (a natural for the Alexander Technique) - is what makes a workshop work.

For me, a successful workshop is when people go away ready to take the next step in making changes to improve their lives, and I go away with new ideas, new connections and new ways of explaining the Alexander Technique. 

Following the success of the workshop Is Working a Pain in the Neck? which I gave at the national conference of the Society of Editors and Proofreaders in September 2007, I have been asked to speak at the national conference of a sister organisation, the Society of Indexers, in July 2008.

I have also given workshops on workshop in Ergonomics and the Alexander Technique for a number of businesses. Recently I gave a clinic at a local GPs surgery on the Alexander Technique for new mothers and their babies, which was a success with both parties.

Ask me about speaking at your conference, running an ergonomics workshop at your business, or the next introduction to Alexander Technique in London.
