John started having Alexander lessons in 1978 to help with a general sense of tension and discomfort which was not helped by yoga or exercise. He soon realised that Alexander work had more to offer than loosening tension and when his circumstances allowed he trained as a teacher from 1981 to 1984. After qualifying he began to have lessons with many of the teachers trained by F M Alexander in the 1930's and '40's, keen to absorb as much knowledge as he could....(more).

In 2008 a long-standing interest in the Alexander Technique led to having lessons with John Hunter at the Alexander Centre. The decision to take up lessons was the beginning of many positive changes, both on the outer physical levels and on inner levels of perception and attitude.
I found that the technique didn’t just lead to differences in sitting, standing and moving but also meant that it was possible to engage with others and outer events in new ways too....(more). |

Sara first started having lessons in the Alexander Technique in 2004.
As a professional dancer Sara had enjoyed the freedom of movement and expression that her studies in Vernacular Afro Cuban approaches had given her. Inspired by the driving rhythms she turned her attention to the music of the Latin cultures and re-awakened her childhood dream of being a violinist. Daring to pursue her studies, which had been dormant for many a years, she embarked upon the journey of learning to play the violin as an adult and soon enough was getting the gigs and establishing herself on the World Music scene...(more). |

I first had lessons over 20 years ago – I thought the Technique would help me relax as a new mother. Initially I was struck by the ease and lightness of movement I experienced in a lesson. Later when I had some work related back trouble, Alexander principles of stopping and conscious thinking helped me make a quick recovery. I dipped in and out of the technique over the years, returning to regular lessons whilst having a big home building project...(more).
