Joanna Wiles: Alexander Technique. Life, Business & Executive Coaching.

The Alexander Technique is a unique, practical method of self-care that has been taught in this country for over 100 years. You learn to notice and change habits of unnecessary stress and tension in yourself so that you can regain natural poise and ease of movement. The benefits of the Alexander Technique can include help with: posture and poise, improved performance, presentation skills, back and neck pain, RSI, stress and tension, coping with chronic illness, personal development, breathing and respiratory problems.

During a long illness as a teenager, I came into contact with the technique through an introductory class at my local CFE. I was immediately struck by the sense of peace and wellbeing it gave me and decided to take private lessons, first in England and later in Australia. As my health improved, I became more and more interested in how the technique could benefit all aspects of my life - not simply the recovery from illness. Eventually I decided to follow that interest and to train to become an Alexander Technique teacher. I followed a three-year STAT approved* training, firstly at the Alexander Techniek Centrum Amsterdam in the Netherlands and later at the Constructive Teaching Centre , London. I graduated in July 2005. Alongside my private practice, I've worked as a teaching assistant at the Constructive Teaching Centre, at the Arts Educational School, teaching Alexander Technique to drama students and also at Crisis leading group AT classes.
