What is Alexander Technique?

We were all born with wonderfully functioning bodies, but nobody gave us the instruction manual! So during our lives we have pulled ourselves out of shape. Alexander technique is the instruction we need, to show us how to return to ‘factory settings’ where our bodies once again work as they were designed to do. Through this, problems often drop away.

Penelope Easten, experienced
teacher of Alexander Technique

I have been a teacher of the Alexander technique since 1989. I find it a fantastic method for helping people sort physical pain and problems, such as back and joint pain, headaches, breathing issues etc., and also for sorting stress and tension. Particularly if you feel your problems stem from poor posture, or have a posture aspect, then Alexander technique can most probably help you

I also really like applying Alexander technique to specific situations, such as playing an instrument, gardening, walking; both in one-to-one sessions and also in workshops locally.

I work a lot with the emotions, and with the emotional roots that are often behind physical problems. If you feel that your physical problems may have an emotional root then this may be the path for you to explore it. Our relationships, both with ourselves and also with others, can be eased and improved, by using the Alexander work in combination with the ‘Emotions toolbox’. Diet can also be crucial here, to support and calm the body.

Why I'm passionate about my work

Along the path I have trained in Reiki, nutrition, craniosacral therapy and inner child work, as well as developing methods of my own for fast release of emotional blocks: the ‘Emotions Toolbox’. I now use this multidimensional approach where needed within the Alexander work so in any moment I can meet you where you are at, and work with what will take you forwards now. I look forward to working with you soon!

My busy private practice runs from my beautiful practice room in Ogonnelloe, East Clare, and also from a small clinic in Clarecastle near Ennis. Read more here about one-to-one lessons in Alexander technique.

See the calendar for workshops coming up. The wokkshops are always great fun, people learn a lot and thay can be transformative.

Testimonials

I have seen various bodywork practioners/therapists over the years, and just a few stand out for me as being experts in their field.

With a rare combination of humility, deep wisdom, a joy in learning and teaching, and a deep respect for life, Penelope is one of these rare finds. I am really grateful to know her and thank her so much for caring.

Susanna

Initially I felt it was just for posture, but it goes much deeper, much deeper, into the emotions too. There's a real improvement in my life: as the spine has been opening up, so I'm less emotional, more open with people, there's a major change there!

Philip

The Alexander Technique has helped me immensely, it is so successful because of the wonderful practitioner, Penelope Easten. She brings not just her training but also a wealth of knowledge in other fields. I continue to use conventional treatment as my illness is a progressive one, but Penelope has offered greater hope and support for the simple tasks that make life a pleasure.

Geraldine

Penelope is a top-class teacher and is very intuitive in getting to the core of the problems and then enabling the student to deal with the issues at hand in a most productive manner.

Joe

As a therapist I've been attending Penelope Easten for 18 months. I have come to appreciate her capacity to respond effectively to a variety of issues. No matter what the issue appears to be, whether physical, dietary or emotional, Penelope has the experience knowledge and awareness to consistently bring me clarity and relief.
