Lessons at Barn Hill Alexander
At Barn Hill Alexander lessons take place in a peaceful room overlooking a garden which is occasionally visited by a flock of parakeets. Each lesson lasts thirty to forty minutes. ln a lesson I take people through simple actions, getting into or out of a chair, lying down, walking, with verbal and hands-on guidance. My teaching is based on compassion and respect for the individual pupil.
The hands-on work is a specific skill which Alexander teachers develop in the course of their training. It feels very gentle, but it can be powerful.
Gradually you unlearn old habits and allow yourself to move in a easier way without the help of the teacher. Many clients speak of a feeling of lightness, ease and effortlessness.
Lessons cost £36.00. Most people improve with even just a few lessons. Normally people have a course of fifteen to twenty-five, which gives them a wonderful lifelong skill: moving in a lighter and more fluid way.
