The Alexander Technique has played its part in the last nineteen years of my life. The Alexander Technique enabled me to stay calm while studying for a Diploma in Home Economics, and presenting evening courses in Food and Nutrition. It not only gave me relief from ongoing neck pain, it changed my whole outlook and I began to enjoy life more deeply. I then spent three years on a Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique course in St. Andrews, Fife, and qualified in 1995. Additionally, I started to practice yoga again and have trained for a further three years as a yoga teacher, finding that the two practices can complement each other. The Alexander Technique makes yoga much easier in every way; muscles lengthen more easily, and the co-ordination of mind and body, breathing and posture, enables the body to move freely throughout. I currently live in Abernethy and teach around Scotland and beyond.
