I have been teaching the Alexander Technique since 1985, to a wide range of people, from those with absolutely no riding experience, to advanced riders with specific issues and horse lovers keen to leave the mainstream paths of the equestrian world and explore alternative ways which reflect the natural needs of both the rider and mount. The Alexander Technique is a wonderful method for improving the body awareness of riders and non-riders alike. This holistic method has gained respect and recognition in many walks of life in which the mind-body relationship is a conscious and integral part of daily work: sportsmen and women, actors, musicians, sculptors and even blacksmiths apply this technique to improve their long-term performance.
