Run in Balance

Would you like:

  • Fewer injuries?
  • Faster times?
  • Improved form?
  • Greater enjoyment from your runs?

Whatever your age or ability anyone can benefit from Alexander Technique running lessons.

As a certified Alexander Technique teacher and ‘Art of Running’ instructor (certified by leading running coach and Alexander Technique teacher Malcolm Balk www.artofrunning.com) I will look at why your technique might cause injuries and impair performance and together we will address how to improve coordination, breathing and body awareness and reduce unnecessary tension to improve the way you run.

I teach individual lessons and also group classes and workshops. 

For new individual running clients I offer a package of three one hour lessons which take the following form:

•Lesson 1 – This will be an introductory Alexander Technique lesson to provide a hands-on understanding of what the Alexander Technique involves in relation to using your body with more efficiency. There won’t be much running involved in this lesson but I will ask you questions to get a better understanding of past and present injuries, what concerns you have, what you’d like to improve on etc… and I will take a short video of you running.

•Lesson 2 – We will head out to the local park to incorporate some of the principles we covered in lesson 1 into our running and do some video analysis.

•Lesson 3 – We build on what we covered in Lesson 2 and incorporate some more of the principles into our running and if there is something in particular you want to work on and improve we will pick up on that. 

I highly recommend the package but alternatively if you are interested in just one lesson we can just go straight into the running.

Group classes and workshops can be tailored to meet specific needs or can cover a overview of what the ‘Art of Running’ involves.

Individual lessons are available for $60 per hour and the 3 lesson package I offer is available for the reduced price of $150.
