Private Workshops
Plan a Workshop For You and Your Friends!
Private workshops are a great way to get a taste of the Alexander Technique at a time and location that is convenient to you.
These workshops introduce the basic principles of the Alexander Technique and take all participants through an experience of applying the principles to activity.
Everyone will get to work with the teacher and will gain insights that they can use in the daily life. Hand-outs and suggestions for continuing the work on your own are included.
Workshops can also be geared to a particular focus (neck and back pain, sciatic, posture, running, singing, etc.) and they can be held at my teaching studio or at your home.
For distances further than a 20 minute drive from my teaching studio there will be additional travel charge.
Cost: $100 per hour
Participation: 2-8 people
Workshop: Releasing Back and Neck Tension
An Introductory Workshop

This workshop is an introduction to the Alexander Technique. It will provide practical help to identify and prevent the harmful postural habits that lead to stress, pain or poor performance.
Learn to release tension and improve your functioning.
The principles of the Alexander Technique can help you:
. help yourself out of pain and tension
. sit and move with balance and ease
. have easy, dynamic posture
. breathe and speak with freedom
. be poised and graceful in all your activities
This workshop is perfect for anyone who has functionally induced pain, suffers with a repetitive stress injury or wants to raise their performance.
The workshop will include activities, hands-on work with the teacher and discussion. The size will be
limited to five people to ensure all participants get individual attention. Wear clothes that you can move in comfortably.
The workshop will be at my
teaching studio.

Click here for the syllabus and more detailed information.
Each class includes:
- practical information for you to use immediately
- reading material and visual aids to augment your in-class learning
- experiential exercises and lots of hands-on guidance
- a private lesson to support the in class work
Class size is limited to 4 people because the Alexander Technique is best learned through hands-on guidance from a teacher. Limiting the size ensures everyone gets sufficient hands-on work.
The class cost includes one private lesson. I suggest that you schedule this when you register. It is best to have the lesson sometime during the first two weeks of the class.
