The Alexander Technique offers a practical and intelligent approach to improving our co-ordination in any activity we are engaged in. Learning to move with more ease and grace enhances our mental and physical wellbeing and supports our ability to respond constructively to life’s challenges. This approach has been developed over the last 100 years and is now taught in many countries.

Cost: $50 (50 minutes). Discount for a series of lessons.

Ineke de Graaf is an Alexander Technique teacher with a B.A. in anthropology. She has a long history of working with the body through dance/movement practices and performance. A back injury led Ineke to the Alexander Technique and her experience and sense of empowerment encouraged her to become an Alexander teacher. Ineke also specialises in working with pregnant women.

Alexander Technique sessions use verbal, visual and tactile guidance to encourage clients towards new ways of co-ordinating movement, creating ease in the tasks of everyday living. Movements such as sitting and walking, as well as more complex tasks, such as playing a musical instrument or public speaking, are addressed according to a client’s particular need. The technique empowers us to discover our innate capacity to find strength and balance in motion.
