What to expect from an Alexander Technique lesson
Erica Donnison, Alexander Technique Teacher working in Kendal with the pupil in semi supine
I work with you using my hands and voice to help you notice areas of tension in the body and gently enable you to let it go. The Alexander Technique works best when you take it with you after the lesson and translate it into your everyday life. This is difficult at first, but as you progress with the work, it becomes easier and easier to remember what you have learned and make use of it.

Lessons last about 45 minutes and may include lying in the semi-supine position on the table (see picture) or activities such as standing up and sitting down on a stool, walking and other activities to explore achieving freedom of movement.

You should wear loose comfortable clothing (trousers) and you will be asked to remove your shoes for the duration of the lesson.

One-to-one lessons take place at my room in the Kendal Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, Yard 96, Stricklandgate, Kendal.

I am there on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This yard is behind Curtain Craft, opposite the main post office. I also visit Kintaline Farm, near Oban, Argyll and Park House Farm near Barnard Castle, County Durham, several times a year. See what's on page for next dates
