The Alexander Technique has
revitalised my life. I walk as if
walking on air, I am able to go up and down stairs with ease without my
troublesome knee giving in like it used to. By relearning activities like
sitting, squatting, bending and standing at my full height, I now have less
pain, more flexibility and find moving a lot easier and more pleasurable. Richard is a fantastic tutor who teaches with
gentleness and care for the individual.
Thank you.

I found the series of 6 Alexander
Technique sessions very useful, especially in terms of alleviating back
pain. My teacher (Richard Marsden) was
supportive, clear and very helpful. A
truly worthwhile use of my time and money!

After only a
couple of lessons with Richard, I found my gym work so much more enjoyable as
my body seemed more powerful and relaxed.

I have recently been diagnosed as having osteoporosis at 87
and noticing how bent I was getting, I decided to join the “Alexander Technique
with gentle yoga” classes at Barbon Village Hall. I have found these most
helpful and Alison is a very caring person. She tries to adapt lessons to the
individuals needs. She also explains what the reason is for a particular
exercise and how it affects the body. It is a friendly, happy class and at the
end we all feel both refreshed and relaxed. Dorothy (aged 87).
The Alexander
Technique has opened my eyes and insight into how I can improve my connection
with myself and also my clients. It has broadened and deepened my working
knowledge of my own application of physical and emotional therapies. Alison is
a wonderful teacher who has a fantastic ability to intuit what the mind and
body require to release emotional and physical tension. She applies her
training with a caring, compassionate and uniquely non judgemental way that has
inspired me to model this approach with my clients.

Since starting
classes with Alison I have become much more conscious of how I walk and move. I
am definitely becoming more flexible and alive and feel two inches taller! Tricia from Burton in Lonsdale

This
technique has made me much more aware of my posture. I adjust my weight,
particularly my head, much better and feel lighter in my upper body. Wonderful!
