Blue Mountains Alexander Technique
What is the Alexander Technique?
When you are out of answers about what is happening to your body and you’ve tried everything to overcome continual problems, then the Alexander Technique offers a surprising level of help. Alexander Technique is taught through lessons, workshops and online learning because we want you to have the skills to look after yourself for life.
It teaches you about your moving self through a series of discovery experiments. Discover how to meet life’s challenges with understanding and insight. From the first lesson, you are encouraged to grow your movement and resilience skills in a safe and patient way.
Soon, you are able to implement new ways of moving, responding and coordinating, without needing help. Alexander Technique is focused on giving you the tools to apply new ease and coordination into your daily life. After taking some lessons, you may even begin to recognise that wellbeing is a process that can be developed with knowledge and experience.
Through that process of learning with the Alexander Technique teacher, you can make profound connections between body and mind. These new connections and perceptions may help you to change your posture, your gait and even the level of muscle tension that you use. You will begin to develop experiences of light, unrestrained movement. This can be transformative.
Once a person starts to apply Alexander Technique knowledge into their daily life activities, they change from daily struggling with movement to actively implementing movement solutions. This new positive mindset can be applied to all sorts of situations.
Many people, who have learned Alexander Technique, find that the self-awareness and new self-knowledge that has developed is of equal significance to having overcome the issue that they initially came to solve.
Alexander Technique offers you a unique set of tools that you can use to explore your self and your potential for ease, uprightness and body know-how. Why not take this opportunity, right now because regardless of where you are in the world you can have your first Alexander Technique lesson online with us.

What people say about their Alexander learning experience
“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.
