"Everyone who sits at a desk should participate in this program!"

"The course has shown me what is possible! I found it to be
of great benefit and more people should have access to it" Ros Markezic, I T Officer, ANU
“I used to suffer from continuous
lower back pain for many years after having a snowboard accident. The pain
wasn’t unbearable, but it was enough to be an inconvenience and made sitting
uncomfortable at times.
I had massages and spent time
being treated by a Chiropractor and although I saw immediate improvement and
reduction of pain and discomfort, the problem returned after some time.
Then I went and saw Michael
Stenning and he taught me Alexander Technique principles. Within a week I
started feeling more at ease and I have continued to benefit the longer I
practice these simple techniques... and most importantly, I don’t have the pain
I did before.
If you suffer any sort of physical
pain, or maybe you just want to see how to use your body with more ease and
grace, then go see Michael. He knows what he’s doing.”
"Good balance of information-giving, exercises,
visual presentation. I found the course enjoyable, informative, of
great practical value and potentially life-changing" Gail
Reekie, Australian Research Fellow, ANU

Alexander course was. I can heartily recommend it and would appreciate
it if I could attend any follow-up courses" David Sime, Sound

"I am writing to tell you how much I appreciated
the Alexander Technique course. I recommend it and hope you will be

Stenning did a good job running it" John Ryan, Hansard, DPRS
