I came to the Technique in 1985, after reading articles in magazines about this strange discipline I’d never heard of. I was very curious. What is this thing that you can’t learn from a book? Why do you need a teacher? Where are these
teachers? What’s the big secret?

I was just an ordinary person who was intrigued. I went looking for somewhere to learn and found Barbara’s group class. My Alexander journey began — and what a journey!

When I measured my height after about a year of lessons, I found I was more than an inch taller: my upper back had straightened as a result of applying the Technique. I discovered a new flexibility.

In 1990 I went to the Carrington school to begin the three-year training. I took a break when my son was born and then finished training at Barbara’s school in Glasgow. I’ve been teaching since 1996.

Learning the Technique changed my life. It has enriched me physically, emotionally and mentally, giving me new awareness and sensitivity, and expanding my sense of self. It has made it easier for me to open to new ideas.

As I get older, I value the Alexander Technique more than ever. It’s an education that never ends.

I work in Bearsden.
