Marcus Rashford's posture.

In the picture below you can see how Marcus Rashford stands. I don't know if he's ever heard of Alexander Technique, but his stance in this picture shows his head perfectly balanced above his feet, whereas his team mate has a more familiar 'hips forward' stance. Both Sancho and Rashford are elite athletes at the top of their game and neither has anything to prove. However I when I saw this photo I was struck by that quality of 'up' that comes from a good sense of balance and relationship to the ground, that maybe reflects Rashford's clear sense of purpose on and off the pitch. It's great to see the principles of Alexander Technique embodied in a national hero.

Have you ever caught sight of yourself in a photograph? How was your posture? Come for an Alexander Technique lesson and see if you can learn to be a little more Rashford...

'After every lesson with Kathy, I felt more relaxed, centred, and whole. Kathy has wonderful hands; warm, sensitive and in control. Through the lessons, I became more attuned to my own posture and habits, so that I was able to adjust my working practice towards a more healthy and sustainable one.' Rachel. Visual Artist

Having Alexander Technique sessions with Kathy made me more aware how the my body works. This gave me an insight as to how to improve everyday movement. I learned something new every lesson.

Kathy is kind and patient and I always leave the lessons feeling a bit more free in my body. I have back pain from scoliosis. (After lessons) I find that the pressure on my back is noticeably reduced. Alexander Technique will make you more curious about the way you move and why when doing habitual things. And the lessons are always with a sense of humour too.

Kathy’s such a skilled teacher, bringing insight and humour to guide gently in using the body in much more skilful ways. I’ve seen a huge difference in higher levels of energy - and lower levels of pain - since working with her. And it’s a lot of fun too!
