Private lessons
Personalised Alexander Technique lessons to support comfort, balance, coordination, and ease in everyday movement. Alexander Technique consultations with Cathy are tailored to suit what you want to learn, change, enhance.
Usually, this will involve experiential learning about lightening up from ground to crown, cooperating with gravity, a body-mind reset back to neutral, and how to change your tension and holding patterns. It also involves clarifying your mind-map of your body, how it moves, and where it folds.
Cathy teaches with demonstration, verbal instruction and with gentle manual guidance (optional). Everyday actions of standing, sitting, walking, and lying are used as experimental resources. Clients can bring activities and props as they wish (eg instrument).
Similar to the “teach someone to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime” proverb (Lao Tzu), Cathy’s goal is to empower clients with Alexander Technique principles they can apply independently, when they choose, ultimately making her role as a teacher unnecessary.
Work one-to-one to address pain, tension, performance challenges, or habits that limit how you move, breathe, or function day to day.
