What people have said…

“I absolutely love learning about the Alexander Technique with James. In our weekly lessons over the lockdown period he introduced me to so many useful ideas that I’ve incorporated into my viola playing, as well as my everyday life, and he never failed to bring a smile to my face too!”

“Alexander Technique session were my weekly 'me time', and James's coaching contributed to the relaxing experience and learning progress.”

“My lessons began as an aid to my stance and projection when playing the viola but I have since been finding the lessons very beneficial for my general physical wellbeing and my knowledge of how the different parts of the body work together. This new awareness has made me notice on a daily basis how I hold myself while teaching and even just what works best for me when sitting at a desk.

“Since becoming pregnant, AT lessons have been instrumental in helping with the new changes and aches I have started to experience. In short, I have found that AT lessons work brilliantly as an underlying aid to many different situations in life. I would highly recommend them, and James Douglas' thoughtful care, to anyone.”

“I have met James on several occasions and we are successfully making progress and improvement on my posture, breathing and state of mind. His patience, caring attitude and openness to adapt the perfect method for me makes me feel we are both involved in the process.”

“James's approach that there is no right or wrong makes things so much more relaxed and positive, which takes my sessions to a place where, with his guidance, it almost feels like I am the one to finds my own way to amend things!”

“James's ability to really listen to his students makes progress feel like a mutual experience and that the teaching is reacting to your needs.”
