Lessons are a combination of verbal instruction and gentle hands on guidance where you learn to release tension and use your body according to its natural design, mostly working with simple everyday activities, sitting, standing, bending, all using your joints.
The Principles of the Technique can be applied to everything we do in life and by undoing our old habits we learn to apply freedom in movement. Part of the lesson will involve relaxing lying down time, so you are advised to wear comfortable clothing.

What pupils have to say
"I have found myself a teacher who is stilled and delightful, each week I leave her studio having glimsed still further how to release the tension I have carried with me for decades, I leave with a spring in my step"
Barbara, Princes Risborough
"I approached Janey to help me work through the tension I felt during difficult moments at work, only to discover how much unnecessary effort I was putting into the most ordinary things like walking or sitting at a desk. I now realise that I had actually been quite tense for most of the time without even sensing it. With Janey's gentle and light hearted guidance I have started to address over 40 years of misuse and have already reaped tremendous benefits in my breathing and posture, ranging from my extended periods over a computer to jogging the streets. It has been an amazing experience to learn to use my body more effortlessly and with less strain to perform everyday activities. Janey is a wonderful guide, her lessons are fun and she flexes them to meet the needs of the day. I am always happy to put myself in her hands" GA March 2009
"The Alexander Technique works....I recommend it enthusiastically to anyone who has neck pains or back pain"
