Activities within a Lesson:

In your first lesson Pamela will enquire about your reasons for wanting to learn the Alexander Technique in order to relay the basic principles of the AT relevant to you.

Wear comfortable clothing, the teaching process includes applying the principles of AT to any activity you wish. Typically, Pamela will encourage walking and other everyday movements as a way of seeing how you “carry yourself.” Non-manipulative touching aids in the release of excessive tensions and begins to re-educate your sense of self.

Many of us do not realize we are using more muscular effort than necessary for our daily activities. A premise of The Alexander Technique is that “use affects function.” Together, you and Pamela will discover how you interfere with your best functioning. Learn where and how you are carrying more tension than needed and learn to rid yourself of it mentally and physically.

If you are a musician you are invited to bring your instrument to any and all lessons. It is well worthwhile for Pamela to see you at your instrument to observe your manner of use while playing.

A singer is welcome to sing. Again, this give Pamela and the singer an opportunity to observe what tension patterns might be interfering with your sound.

An actor is encouraged to speak or perform a monologue.
