This is an introduction to Alexander work using explanation, group activities and practical exploration. It has six group sessions of around 75 minutes when we explore how to apply AT principles to improve your daily life. The first one is on Friday evening after dinner (or before, if everyone has arrived) and the last is before lunch on Sunday.
There is free time on Saturday between 2 - 4pm when you may take a twenty minute private lesson with Jill for £20 (pay on the day).
Learn strategies and methods to take away. The course is suitable for beginners and those wishing to refresh their AT skills.
