Welcome to Alexander Technique - Surrey / Hampshire / Berkshire

This not-for-profit website is dedicated to the promotion of the Alexander Technique in the southern counties of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. We aim to provide information and resources on the Alexander Technique, as well as helping people to find a certified teacher in the region.

The Alexander Technique is a Technique for Life, not quite like any other. It is a method of physical and mental re-education that teaches us to ‘think in activity’ and ‘use’ ourselves to our best advantage. It can therefore have a positive effect on a wide range of stresses and ailments, as well as balancing mood and behaviour, enhancing performance, improving vitality and overall well-being.
