been looking for in a system of physical education: relief
from strain due to maladjustment, and consequent improvement
in physical and mental health� and, along with this, a
general heightening of consciousness on all levels."
Aldous Huxley, writer

The South Bank Alexander Centre has three experienced
Alexander Technique teachers, including Glynn MacDonald -
Master of Movement at Shakespeare's Globe.
