Alexander Technique learning for Body Mind improvement
To create a better world, you can take small steps. Start with yourself. It’s possible to move better, balance better and feel better by learning Alexander Technique.
“Plasticity” is the idea that we can add, change, and update how we think, move, and communicate. Alexander Technique allows you to understand and develop how your body and mind can work together. The skills associated with this new collaboration can make you feel better, act more efficiently and see the world in new and constructive ways.
When you learn to improve your movement and posture in action with us, you are developing a unique life skill that can be helpful in many situations.
Movement is one of the fundamental elements of good health. Easy, upright movement should be everyone’s inheritance. Unfortunately, in many instances, that’s not the case. You don’t need to be alone struggling with your aches, pains and poor movement. Let’s assist you to:
- Recover from injury.
- Tune your nervous system for enhanced awareness and integrated movements.
- Dissolve “stuck” habits that make your movement painful, awkward, and misaligned.
- Know your body and how it functions well.
- Experience poise and dynamic energy in your movement.
Michael & Jane Shellshear, from Blue Mountains Alexander Technique, will teach you Alexander Technique through their years of experience working with the Technique and adult learning.

“Michael Shellshear is a masterful Alexander teacher. He guides one into freedom, not just physically but also on a deeper level, addressing many layers of one’s experience at the same time. The knowledge he imparts about Alexander’s teachings and its relationship to the human experience will remain with you for a lifetime.”
It was terrific. With all the bits and pieces of pain in my body, I now have a possible solution. All it requires is focus and application and a modicum of will power. Good luck me!
I was led to discover more about controlling my movements including standing, walking, sitting and rising. Very comprehensive but in a manageable staged sequence. I became very aware of my body and movements and my ability to make conscious decisions on how to move it. I have been pain free for quite some time now.
“Jane, I really can’t thank you enough for giving me the tools and information to shift some particularly challenging lifelong habits. Who knew bringing awareness would help so much?! A big thank you!”
“Thank you, Jane. After your Body Mapping session, the flow of air and sound was free and fluid. It was awesome!”
“Here’s a way to rediscover your body and connect to the way it moves. Come away with a strong connection to a more free flowing, moving you!”

Michael’s use of language really helped me understand and reveal the possibilities of movement without “holding on” and without fear. It was great to observe the work of others, too, as it reinforced the philosophy. A transformative day for me! Thank you, Michael

A wonderful, engaging and inciteful workshop, with plenty of opportunity to practise the work and much to take home to continue improving my co-ordination and use. The group of people were great to engage with and Michael with his expansive knowledge and experience bought the whole day seamlessly together. Thank you.

" I have Parkinson’s. I can truthfully say that I wouldn’t be walking now without knowledge of the Alexander technique: it is not just an awareness of the physical state, but of the habitual, the correctional and the deeper awareness states, which are all interdependent.
Michael, as do all good Alexander teachers, transmits to the pupil a very fine inner consciousness, which displays itself through an innate sense of how the body works through its internal connections and structures,
It is, literally, life-saving."
