Alexander Technique

‘You may not know you’d benefit from some Alexander Technique in your life, but you probably will.’ - Alec Welton co-founder Archway Health & Wellbeing

The Alexander Technique helps you live an easier life.

It focuses on making it easier for our bodies to work in the way they are supposed to, relaxing the body from the inside out and who doesn’t want to actually feel more ‘ease’ in their body and their life.

Alexander Technique is a method that helps people improve their posture, movement, and overall coordination. It’s based on the idea that the way you hold and move your body can affect not only your physical health, but also your mental wellbeing.

It’s hard to explain – it needs to be experienced. It is so unique we offer the opportunity to try a free 30 minute taster where you can have a short session to see what you think and learn how it can benefit you.

Basic Concept

The Alexander Technique teaches you how to move more efficiently and with less strain. It’s about becoming aware of bad patterns in your posture and movement and learning to replace them with better ones.

It’s much easier than you think

When we think about change we all groan internally because we associate change with needing to put in a lot of effort e.g. dieting, getting fitter, but when you try the Alexander Technique it works a lot more easily than you would think.

Everyday Application

Think about how you sit at your desk, stand, walk, run or even breathe. Many people develop patterns over time that cause unnecessary tension and stress on their bodies. The Alexander Technique helps you notice these habits and shows you how to move in a more relaxed and balanced way.

Benefits

By improving your posture and the way you move, you can reduce pain, prevent injuries, and feel more comfortable in your body.

It’s often used by people who experience back, neck and shoulder pain also, those with tension headaches.

It is often used by athletes, musicians, actors and presenters who are looking to both improve their performance and wellbeing and by people interested in their own personal development, helping them to bring the best of themselves to whatever they’re doing.

How It Works

During an Alexander Technique lesson, a teacher guides you through simple movements and helps you become more aware of your body. They might use gentle touch and verbal instructions to help you find a more balanced and efficient way of moving.

Mind-Body Connection

The technique also emphasizes the connection between mind and body. By learning to change your physical patterns, you can also develop a calmer and more focused state of mind.

In essence, the Alexander Technique is like re-learning how to use your body in the most natural and efficient way possible, helping you to feel better and move more freely.
