Alexander Technique private lessons and classes in Melbourne and Ireland.
In Alexander lessons a teacher works with a student’s habits of movement and thought to address the causes of tensions or interferences in performance. Students learn how to apply the Alexander principles to move and think with greater ease and co-ordination. Free from unnecessary habits and tensions, students are more present, enlivened and creative.

While teaching the Alexander Technique, Karen finds it exhilarating to regularly witness the profound changes students make in lessons. Some notable joys were the tears of relief as someone finally experienced what it means to relax. The shock of an actor on hearing what their voice is truly capable of. The gradual and lasting relief from not only chronic debilitating headaches but escaping unnecessary major neck surgery.
“It has really helped me stop getting stuck, working on freeing up my body has really helped to free me up in my acting. It simplifies things, letting go of the tension in my body enables me to stop getting stuck in my head and trust myself more as an actor.” - Fiona Crombie - Actor
“I walk out after a session breathing more deeply, seeing more detail in the world and feeling a greater body awareness.” - Danielle Cresp - Director, Performing Coach & Action Theater™ Practitioner
