In normal circumstances, when we are young, our balance and co-ordination is good, or at least adequate. As toddlers, we are very well balanced on our feet with good head and back alignment.

This can leave us with a fear of falling. I can resonate with this. In 2015 I broke my left wrist in four places, whilst on holiday in Australia! Following a bone scan it was discovered that I had the onset of Osteoporosis in my lower spine.

Of course, coming along to a workshop is a great way to learn about Alexander’s discoveries and how they can help promote ease of tension and pain. However, revisiting the information helps to prolong retention in the mind, which is why the Alexander Technique is also taught in one to one lessons.

If we are to remain healthy in later life, doing the activities we love, we all need some form of exercise. One of the ways we can keep active is by walking, which is enjoyable at any age. Developed to promote ease and enjoyment with improved mobility, the first part is an indoor session, where we look at how we can make walking more pleasurable. This is followed by walking along the sea front putting it all into practice with continued guidance. We also stop for tea and discussion. This is suitable for all levels of walking.
