Alexander Technique

Group classes

A group class in the Alexander Technique offers a unique and rewarding way to learn. While private lessons give individual focus, groups add the benefits of shared discovery. Others’ questions can spark new insights, and the light-hearted atmosphere makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Plus, it’s a more affordable way to continue exploring your coordination, balance, and freedom in movement.

Over the past few years, Cathy has run groups for beginners and returning students — exploring topics such as applying the Technique to everyday activities, performance, managing pain, improving balance, and deepening practical skills.

Learning the Alexander Technique in a group can be an enjoyable, supportive, and surprisingly effective way to deepen your understanding. While private lessons give you individual attention, a group setting offers something different — a sense of shared discovery. Listening to others’ experiences and questions often sheds light on your own, and laughter and curiosity tend to replace the seriousness that can creep into learning. Many people find that being part of a group makes the process lighter, more engaging, and full of “aha” moments.

Why learn in a group?

Group classes offer several advantages over private lessons. You get to:

• Learn from others’ insights and common challenges.

• Enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere where progress feels natural.

• Build confidence applying the Alexander Technique to daily life.

• Maintain ongoing practice at a lower cost.

• Explore new topics such as performance, stress management, and movement efficiency.

A group class is especially valuable once you’ve had a taste of the Alexander Technique — perhaps from an introductory workshop or a few private lessons — and want to keep growing your awareness and skill.

Past group classes

Cathy has run a range of Alexander Technique groups over recent years in East Brunswick and Coburg. Past programs have included:

• Applying Alexander Technique to everyday activities – sitting, walking, working at a desk.

• Alexander Technique for musicians and performers – finding ease, flow, and confidence.

• Managing recurring pain – exploring gentle, practical ways to soothe a system on high alert.

• Better balance and mobility for seniors – improving confidence and coordination.

• Building your Alexander toolkit – going deeper into self-observation and release.

Each group brings together up to six participants in a friendly, interactive format where everyone’s curiosity is welcome. Whether you’re new to the Technique or have been exploring it for years, you’ll find ways to apply it meaningfully in your life.
