Think about a small child, how they move with such ease. The Alexander Technique is a method that teaches us how to regain that same effortless way of being.
With the Alexander Technique we study ourselves through simple movements like sitting, standing and walking. Later on, activities we love to do are explored, like playing an instrument or reading, as well as things everyone has to do, like hoovering the house or carrying heavy shopping.
The Alexander Technique has a long tradition of helping people transform their lives by providing them with tools to stay calm and centred, even throughout difficult or stressful times.
You don't need to be flexible, young, or super fit in order to learn the Alexander Technique. You just need to be willing to learn.
I am Jeremy Cassidy and the Alexander Technique has been in my life for several years now. It is something that I come back to every day. I believe that everyone can benefit from the framework of understanding the technique provides. I enjoy exploring the idea's within it and facilitating others learning of it.
The Alexander Technique is something that has to be experienced first hand. It's like riding a bike, you can read all the books about how to do it, and watch people doing it on videos, but at the end of the day you have to understand yourself and your relationship to that bike in order to be able to ride it. Likewise, to start learning the Alexander Technique you need to find a teacher who has followed the 3 year training programme that explores the concepts in depth, in order to assist you on your journey.
I give individual lessons in Highbury and in Tottenham I run group and individual classes.
Please explore my website and feel free to contact me for more information, and to book a class.
What is the Alexander Technique and what are it's Benefits?
The Alexander Technique is a practical method of self-help that teaches us how to become aware of how we use our minds and bodies in activity. It can help to improve our performance in anything we do.
By choosing the way in which we react to stress, and by letting go of our habits of tension, we can rediscover the natural balance of our bodies and minds, resulting in more ease of movement.
Some of the benefits many people enjoy from learning the Alexander Technique are reductions in:
Back pain * Neck pain * Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) * Anxiety * Breathing problems
An Alexander Technique lesson can be compared to having a massage and learning something at the same time.
Upcoming Events and Group Workshops
I am giving 2 group courses in Clerkenwell starting in November 2011. They are both booked out, however I will be giving individual lessons there as well.
A big thank you to everyone who attended to my fundraising sessions.
Since April this year £235 has been raised from the introductory group workshops at the Enterprise Centre for local children's charities and the campaign for fairer cuts. Last year at the Brunel Walk Community Hall in Seven Sisters. A grand total of £192 was donated to the Tairona Heritage Trust. They are preparing for production of a very significant new film, details are on the website, Aluna the Movie.

Testimonials
"I came to see Jeremy with chronic back ache due to poor posture. His gentle approach and imaginative way of describing things helped me see my body in a new way. I found each session deeply relaxing and always walked out feeling lighter and freer. Jeremys insights and suggestions at each session stayed with me throughout the weeks. I believe the lessons I received from Jeremy greatly contributed to an improvement in my posture and a reduction in pain."
