I offer several different options for group sessions. These cover everything from a basic introduction, for if you’re just curious about the Alexander Technique, to in-depth immersive training. If you’re not sure which group option, or whether group or or one-to-one lessons, are likely to work best for you, do get in touch and I will be happy to advise.
Sessions for two
Some people prefer to come with a partner or friend – this is a good ‘in-between’ option between one-to-ones and groups.
A 75-minute session for two people costs £76 (£38 each).
Get in touch to book or find out more.
Small group workshops and courses
I run group introductions and courses at my practice in Portobello for between 3–6 people.
Spring into Spring! (4-week course starts Thursday 27 March, 7–8.30pm; £90)
Bring a spring back into your step with this 4-week Alexander Technique course. You will discover how to do more with less effort, while making time and space to breathe and come back to yourself – a practical skill that you can take into your daily life to become less stressed and more effective. The Alexander Technique is a restorative self-care, self-development practice for easier navigation of daily life. No prior experience necessary (but is also welcome).
Places are limited to a maximum of 6 people, so contact me to book, or to find out more (booking essential).
Or, if you can’t make this course and don’t want to wait for the next course to be advertised, bring together your friends or colleagues with some suggestions for days/times and get in touch so that we can take it forwards. Each class is 90 minutes and costs £90 (to get the per-person cost, divide this total amount by the number of people, for example it’s £15 each if there are 6 people). Concessions available for unwaged.
Bespoke group workshops
Would you like me to come and run a workshop or course for your community group or third-sector organisation? An introductory workshop will provide useful Alexander Technique tips and tools for greater ease in daily life. This could be followed up with a course of group classes or one-to-ones to embed the skills learnt.
Contact me to discuss your requirements.
I also work in business and large organisations.
Immersive learning
Many people who have benefited from Alexander lessons would like to take it further and deepen their understanding, skills and confidence. Others may be new to the Alexander Technique and are looking for an opportunity for a ‘reset’.
Edinburgh Alexander Training School offers a 12-week Foundation course that provides an ideal opportunity for such self-development. There are many diverse reasons why you might wish to join the Foundation course: to invest in your health and wellbeing; to enhance performance in music, sport or business; or for developing a greater sense of embodiment and making some fundamental changes in life attitudes and ways of thinking; or simply to find greater ease and enjoyment in going about everyday life.
