This is a workshop on effortlessness and how to be yourself in every situation. The Alexander Technique is a practical way of learning how to come back to yourself – out of habit, tension and distraction, and into the immediacy of the present moment. Issues it can help with include: feeling stuck, social anxiety, overthinking, body tension, and performance difficulties. This hands-on workshop involves work with the teacher, running experiments, and learning awareness techniques. In this class, we're exploring what it is like to be you without the layers of should-do’s and have-to-be’s. **Location:** South Bank Alexander Technique Centre, LONDON **Cost:** £50 per person. Payment is collected at the end of the class, by cash or card. TEACHERS **Peter Nobes** has been teaching the Alexander Technique since 1993. He is based in central London and has taught the Alexander work in fifteen countries on five continents. He is the author of *Illusion or Reality: are we teaching what FM Alexander was teaching?* which explains what is in FM Alexander’s books, and *Mindfulness in 3D – the Alexander Technique for the 21st Century*. When he isn’t teaching, Peter builds wooden boats and then rows, paddles and sails them. **Lulie Tanett** is an Alexander Technique teacher based in Oxford. She trained with Peter Nobes, and had additional training with Gilles Estran and Bill Conable. Lulie has a background in philosophy, runs a podcast on applied epistemology, and works in emotional development and coaching, where she trained with the Art of Accomplishment. When she isn’t teaching, she likes to draw or work on her latest stand-up comedy routine.
