We translate everything whether physical, mental, or spiritual, into muscular tension
F.M. Alexander (1869-1955)
What my pupils say...
"I was amazed by the change in both my running and swimming technique. I feel lighter, my action is more fluid. By requiring less effort, I have more energy to sustain the distance. The Alexander Technique is about consciousness and choice. Being aware of our movements and habits and choosing an alternative. Years of unconscious habits of movement place strain on our skeleton aggravating pain, anxiety, distress. The Alexander Technique empowers us to choose to alter these habits thereby eliminating the original problem." Dr Debbie Street, Basuto Medical Centre
"It’s amazing! This incredible weight just lifts off the shoulders. I feel like oxygen has been pumped into my back.."Patricia de Mesquita, BBC TV Producer
"I became interested in this technique which is full of common sense, and day by day gently helps my body to improve. It was the start of something new for me, or rather the start of the new me." Brigitte Tassinari, Jewellery Designer
"When I started lessons I had persistent pain in my upper back. This is no surprise working all day long in meetings or in front of a computer screen. Working with Susanna made a massive difference, and I have learnt a Technique that I can use every day, to make back pain a thing of the past." Christopher Braun, Banker
"After a lesson with Susanna, I feel almost like I"m floating."Arabella Wallace, Fitness Instructor
"When I saw my osteopath for the first time in six months, he said my back was totally different from how he remembered it, and that I was in great shape. He asked if I’d been doing anything different…" Tammy Parlour, Martial Arts Instructor
"Today I dared say 'no' to someone. So I've realized that the Alexander Technique also helps me to be more confident. Thank you so much!" Coline Perraudeau, Au Pair (age 21)
"I can't believe my first lesson was only a month ago! I feel like I've been doing this all my life." Ines Tustain (age 14)
"After my Alexander lesson I not only feel great physically, but I’m in a better mood as well." Anna Fitzpatrick, Garden Designer
"I feel great after my lesson; taller, calmer and more fluid in movement." Tessa Clist, Furniture Design Consultant
