“The Alexander Technique has changed my life, as I believe it does for anyone who gives it the chance to. I feel as though the Technique assists and compels me to integrate my being into the world - physically, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, socially. Influencing my movement physically in space, as well as how I navigate culturally - the Technique has given me agency towards my body and my consciousness, motivating my continuous development as an entire human being.”
— Ryanne Davis, JLS Recipient & AT Teacher Trainee
