Blue Mountains Alexander Technique
What is the Alexander Technique?•Are you being constrained by a condition that recurs again and again? When issues arise that affect mobility, posture and performance of activities, your core habit pattern may be the culprit.
• Alexander Technique addresses your hard to control habits and shows you how to prevent them.
• Alexander Technique is the only method that teaches you to prevent and re-educate your core movement habit using a strategy called “Conscious Constructive Control”. You can move, breathe, work and play easily in collaboration with your natural human design.
• Blue Mountains Alexander Technique teachers have trained, over many years, to identify your core habit pattern and develop an individual plan with you for optimal wellbeing.

Re-educate the habits that are keeping you stuck.
Undo fixed habits that set you wrong
Imagine this idea, you don’t have a pain condition, rather you are doing the pain condition. What if the habits that you have learned over many years are actually working against you, without you knowing or being aware that is the case?
Using Alexander Technique it is possible to re-educate your movement habits. You will become skilled at preventing those movement habits that have been setting you wrong. You’ll be shown how to set in motion the correct muscle sequences for correct performance of actions. You will learn to compare and discriminate between movement that disadvantages you and movement that is accurate and easy.
A constant issue unresolved
Massage, accupuncture, pain treatments, reflexology, osteopathy are useful ways to help yourself, but often they will only offer temporary relief. That’s because your old pattern will continue to discoordinate you in everything that you do. The pressures, crushes and twists and negative mindsets that you have habituated will stay constant and lead you back into your problem.
Address the underlying pattern
Alexander Technique is the only approach that teaches you to address your habits. By changing their organisation of movement, thousands of people around the world have been able to align their movement, posture and activity towards a positive collaboration with their natural human design. This can often resolve long standing issues. It can also, prevent the onset of movement and coordination issues.
Evidence-based learning
Alexander Technique is not a treatment, however, it offers a sensible, evidence-based way of learning about your body and mind in activity. It gives you the tools to prevent destructive habits and apply sensible filters about how you move in the world.

What people say about learning from Michael and Jane.
“Michael Shellshear is a masterful Alexander teacher. He guides one into freedom, not just physically but also on a deeper level. The knowledge he imparts about Alexander’s teachings and its relationship to the human experience will remain with you for a lifetime.”
" I have Parkinson’s. I can truthfully say that I wouldn’t be walking now without knowledge of the Alexander technique.
Michael transmits to the pupil a very fine inner consciousness.
It is, literally, life-saving."
John Summers - Musician. Hazelbrook
The tools and practical lessons taught by Michael allowed me to bring awareness to how I was moving physically through the world. Pain levels are down and I am excited to see how far I can take this journey of awareness and body integration.
Kyle Stewart Blackheath
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 has extraordinary skill in Alexander Technique and his group classes are a joy to attend.
Dave Starr- Hazelbrook
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
Susan Head. Bowral NSW
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.
