Alexander Technique at Eau de Vie, Oxford

Reynold is a qualified teacher of the Alexander Technique. His interest in the technique started 15 years ago when it initially helped him overcome recurrent tension headaches.

The Alexander Technique is a gentle process of re-education; you learn how you perform the simplest of acts (such as standing, sitting and walking) and uncover ways to move more freely. We all live most of our lives semi-consciously relying on our habits to guide us, mind and body, through the day, but who does not delight in ordinary things done extraordinarily, in a little more freedom, a little more grace, a heightened awareness of one's self?

The Alexander Technique sits well with other complementary therapies. It does not try to directly cure backache, headache, stiffness and pain; Eau de Vie has excellent therapists for that. Try the Alexander Technique if you believe that the thing you want to change has its roots in your everyday acts, somewhere frustratingly difficult to see, let alone change.

Reynold is a registered teacher with the Society for Teachers of the Alexander Technique, the largest professional body in this discipline.
