Alexander Technique and Schools
A great course, very informative and relaxing
I really enjoy the relaxing back position
The Alexander lying down position really helped my neck and shoulders
By accessing it more through school we develop more in-house opportunities
I feel as if I can stretch more and I am more aware of what is going on in my body
If I get any pain I am more aware of it and I can ease it out myself
​
Here are just a few benefits of making the Alexander Technique part of the school day:
Improved ability to learn, improved quality of life, control of fear, better health, positive self-awareness and financial savings.
​​
How Can We Incorporate the Alexander Technique into Schools?
​
I have taught the Alexander Technique to both teachers and children at local schools (Kirkbie Kendal School, Queen Elizabeth School, Casterton School, and Old Hutton Primary School).
Here is a quick over view of the services I can offer both for the children and teachers in and out of school time. If you would like to discuss more please do email me on alison.marsden22@gmail.com or use the contact form.
​
For the teachers
​
Groups:
​
Inset training sessions after schools
Sessions after school paid for privately or funded by the school
​
Private Lessons
​
Lessons away from school (evenings/weekends)
Turns during lunch breaks
Lessons/turns after school
Funded privately or through other sources.
​​
Groups and 1-2-1 sessions
​
Combination of the above, that is, group sessions whilst offering mini lessons (or turns - 15 minutes)
​
​
​
...and for the Children
​
Within school time
​
Sessions within school time both as a subject within itself or piggy backing on existing subjects such as PE, music, art, science etc. If the children are in reception, or year 1 then we can incorporate it into any subject very easily.
​
After school clubs
​
These sessions are driven by the children’s needs and can also involve the parents too. Promoting learning with both the children and parents encourages the continuous development outside of school.
