  FELLSIDE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE COURSE
  For Alexander Awareness Week
  at The Fellside Centre
  SATURDAY OCTOBER 12th and SUNDAY OCTOBER 13th 2019
  Saturday 11am to 6pm Sunday 10am to 5pm
  The Fellside Alexander Technique Course provides a unique opportunity to explore the Alexander Technique in depth. Much of the considerable experience and ways of communicating the Technique at Fellside are employed. You learn to consciously prevent unwanted, unnecessary and harmful habits of muscular tension and effort in a supportive environment. The way you learn the Alexander Technique on this course is through teachers' hands-on contact, movement work, Living Alexander Anatomy, voice sessions, individual sessions and other activities. It is an opportunity to improve the natural postural tone of your spine, your mobility and balance and significantly reduce back pain.
  This is a good introductory course and works for those already engaged with the Technique
  F. M. Alexander discovered a practical and enhancing way of coordinating body and mind in all activities. By consciously directing the way we move instead of relying on habit we can refine the way we use our muscular system and avoid strain, tension and fatigue. Practising the Alexander Technique brings more efficiency to our movements, an expansion of our attention and gives us a basic principle that can apply to many areas of our lives.
  The teachers on the course will be Michael Hardwicke and Bernadette Riley and Teachers who are associated with the Fellside School. Michael Hardwicke has been part of the Alexander School since it began in 1985 and is Co- Director of the teacher training programme.
