24.01.2022 My movements over the next three months. I leave on Monday to go on tour with Hugh Jackman, we first worked together in 1995 and Hugh was pleased that is dresser was also an Alexander Technique teacher, I love coming out of Dresser Retirement to work with this amazing man. He is the most exciting performer to be around, his belief that we are all connected means that he is so present and connected before a performance. I feel so blessed and grateful that I get to witness him ...in preparation for and during his awesome show.

13.01.2022 Choose Happiness A tip on Applying the Alexander Technique. Firstly my heart goes out to everybody who is back in lockdown, stay strong and safe.... For us in Tasmania it is Winter and it is time to Play. Play. Play. Imagine if everything we did was a joyful as playing in the snow. It can be. What game are you playing now? I really like the invitation to "keep connected to my tail" game. To find Joy in everything we do is one of the main principles of the Alexander Technique. Therefore we need to phrase our instructions to ourselves in a positive language. This makes a huge difference in how we do things, it is the difference between using unnecessary tension, or doing everything with grace, ease and joy. We have to consciously check in with our language and choose to shift it into the positive. The tool that is helping me at the moment is to remind myself of where I am in my environment, by knowing where I am in relation to the snow capped mountain, the sea; the hills and Ollie, I can more easily find my own centre, and keep track of where the top of my head is, my tail is, and my feet are. If you are in Tasmania, I am back working again, now is a good time to come and have a lesson before the borders open. If you are not in Tasmania I am doing classes on line.
13.01.2022 We all had a great time at the Alexander Technique introduction workshop at Cooper Screen Academy last night, here is a comment from a participants. I left Penny's class with a better understanding of how to move my body that I previously lacked, to help ease my pain and gain a better fluidity of motion. I can't wait to see what the next 6 weeks will bring :)" Bronwyn The six week course starts next Thursday, only a couple of places are left. please contact me if you are thinking of coming.
07.01.2022 An Alexander tip from Ollie for the month of October is a question "Do you know where your feet are?" Are you ready at any time to leap for a ball? To "lift off" we need a strong connection to the ground. To "lift off" we need to be breathing. I believe you get what you ask for, and so Ollie suggests you 'check in' as often as you remember and ask, "Do I have my feet?" You will have an awareness of your feet on the earth. "Do I have my back?" You will be reminded of your whole body. "Am I breathing?" You will breathe. Do you know where your centre is in relationship to your body and where your body is in space. I pinpoint 4 landmarks around me to keep myself connected and to remain aware of my surroundings. Try it, pick 4 places that are special to you, you can go anywhere in the world or to anyone’s home.
05.01.2022 I love teaching the Alexander Technique and seeing people find ease in every activity they perform.
03.01.2022 I am doing Alexander Technique lessons online while covid-19 stops us meeting face to face. Call or text on my mobile if you are interested - 0428 377 060.
