Alexander Technique in Beaminster, Dorset
I have to admit, it's just wonderful giving Alexander Technique lessons from my home in Beaminster, Dorset! Admittedly I'm not able to be there as often as I'd like; my central London Alexander Practice is so busy and I need to be there mid-week....at least for the time being.
But I have made a start at doing some Alexander work around the weekend with a few neighbours and local people who have asked me to work with them, and I'm really thrilled by and it's just great fun. You might think, don't I want a rest from teaching if I'm so busy mid week, giving Alexander lessons and completing writing my next book, but if truth be told and there's no reason to not, I thoroughly enjoy it! Giving a lesson to someone is the same as working on myself, as it's with the thought and guidance I give to others to free up, lengthen and widen in stature, that I am doing the same too. So both of us end the lesson feeling great! What better way of spending a few hours, seeing a few 'pupils'.
There's lots of obvious differences between my two practices relating to how completely at odds Cavendish Square in London is to Beaminster. The city is so hugely busy and noisy and despite having a very nice and spacious practice room at the Harcourt Clinic right on the leafy square, it's so peaceful at home in Beaminster where I can see my own garden and terrace! Then there are the church bells and when all 13 of them go ding-dong in the morning, it's as though all Hell (and Heaven) is let loose,.....but I love it. Anyway they're not so 'in your face' that we cannot think and work.
I'm so very glad I've made the choice to bring my Alexander work to my home town of Beaminster. It's so very calm and relaxing here and we have lots of space in our music room for some Alexander Technique work. In any case, a few years from now as I get older I may well be stepping back from London to do more Alexander work here. So this life-enhancing technique can benefit myself and others right into older age. Decrepitude is not necessarily just around the corner!
