Introductory workshops or any other form of classes are no substitute for the one-to-one learning that takes place in a private lesson--just as if you want to learn to play the piano or drive a car, you need a personal teacher. Our lessons:

• take place in our teaching room at our home in 28. Marshal's Drive, St. Albans
• last 35 to 40 minutes
• don't involve any undressing but please wear loose clothing with trousers
• cost £36 a lesson or £360 for 11 lessons

All pupils need to take a long term view of this work.The many benefits that pupils experience come about indirectly from the improvement in overall use that is he target of the work. We much prefer new pupils to have two or three lessons a week for the first month. We will discuss fees with anyone who finds the costs more than they can manage and try to find a way of adjusting our fees and the timing of the payments to make the work accessible.

We encourage new pupils to read at least one book about the Technique and keep a small stock for sale. Many books about the Technique are available from Alexander Books, Bloomsbury Alexander Centre, Bristol House, 80a. Southampton Row, London WC1B 4BA or send an email requesting a catalogue.

Most lessons involve some table work and some work in the chair--sitting and standing. We may use a saddle and teach a range of techniques for handling the day-to-day things you do. Teaching is a hands-on process but is neither manipulative nor intrusive.

Lessons are not a substitute for medical treatment and we encourage all pupils to seek medical advice for any condition they suffer from. Real benefit from lessons means using the ideas of the Technique, which we teach in our lessons, in everyday situations.
