Group Classes

A Supportive Way to Learn the Alexander Technique

Learning the Alexander Technique in a group can be an enjoyable, supportive, and surprisingly effective way to deepen your understanding.

While private lessons provide individual focus, group classes offer the added benefit of shared discovery. Hearing others’ questions often sparks new insights, and a light-hearted atmosphere can make learning feel more accessible.

Many people find group learning engaging, rich in “aha” moments, and a more affordable way to continue improving coordination, balance, and freedom of movement.

Why learn in a group?

Alexander Technique group classes offer several distinct benefits. In a group, you can:

• Learn from others’ insights and shared challenges

• Enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere where progress feels natural

• Build confidence applying the Alexander Technique to everyday activities

• Maintain ongoing practice at a lower cost

• Explore themes such as performance, stress management, posture, balance, and movement efficiency

Group classes are especially valuable once you’ve had some exposure to the Alexander Technique — for example through an introductory workshop or private lessons.

Past group classes

Cathy has run a range of Alexander Technique group classes over recent years in East Brunswick and Coburg, working with people of varied ages, interests, and experience levels. Past programs have included:

• Applying the Alexander Technique to everyday activities — sitting, walking, working at a desk
  → How AT helps in daily life

• Alexander Technique for musicians and performers — finding flow, coordination, and confidence
  → Musicians & Performers

• Managing recurring pain — exploring gentle, mindful approaches to movement
  → Manage Pain

• Better balance and mobility for seniors — improving coordination and confidence
  → more about Ageing Well and about better Balance & preventing falls

Each group is kept small (up to six participants), creating a friendly, interactive environment where individual questions are welcome. Whether you’re new to the Technique or have been exploring it for years, group classes offer practical ways to apply Alexander principles meaningfully in daily life.

Join a group

Group classes are offered periodically and shaped around the interests and availability of participants. Cathy gathers Expressions of Interest to help plan future Alexander Technique group programs and respond to what people are most interested in learning.

Possible future group themes include:

• Introduction to the Alexander Technique

• Applying the Alexander Technique to daily activities

• Managing recurring or chronic pain

• Reducing stress and tension

• Better balance, posture, and movement

• Alexander Technique for musicians and performers

• Alexander Technique for repetitive strain injuries or workplace use

• Ongoing Alexander Technique practice and learning groups

Your feedback and input helps Cathy plan sessions that best fit participants’ needs — from focused 6-week courses to more flexible, ongoing groups.
