Create positive and long-lasting change in the way your body moves and
how your mind and body coordinate
The BodyMinded Training Program is a unique blend of the study of human movement integrated with the practical application of Alexander Technique principles. The core principle explored throughout this program is Mind-Body Unity, in which every action is an action of the whole-self. We focus on improving mindfulness of the whole-self and developing an understanding on how this enhances the quality of your body’s coordination.
Our BodyMinded training program is appropriate and effective in many kinds of professional application such as: music teaching, musical performance, acting, yoga practice, yoga teaching, massage professional practice, meditation and martial arts teachers. It is also beneficial for those looking to recovery from injury, relieve back or neck pain, or for those simply looking to replace bad habits with healthier ones.
"I found the Alexander Technique like an instruction book on how to use my body. My awareness of what I am doing has really helped me to use my voice better and be more comfortable in virtually every other movement that I make on or off stage."
Gregory North - Bush Poet
"It is exceptionally relevant to all music teachers at any level to apply this thinking method in private and group lessons to help students help themselves instead of having to always ask. Students motivation will increase knowing the teacher understands the posture difficulties of playing an instrument for each person. They will be more confident in their performances also.”
Music Teacher
"I find Alexander technique to be a brilliant kinaesthetic language for communicating mindfulness in movement. I have found that through the years the directions have help me with headache, muscle pain when they've occurred (usually because I wasn't using them).”

"As a Yoga Teacher and Remedial Massage Therapist who knew nothing about Alexander technique other than its name, I would highly recommend the Yoga and Alexander Technique workshop. The workshop was informative with both theory and practice. I highly recommended for anyone interested in Yoga as a teacher or a student."
Simon - Yoga Teacher & Remedial Massage Therapist
"I find myself applying AT principles all the time to assist myself to do daily activities such as driving, walking, Pilates classes, etc with more ease and awareness. Greg Holdaway and the team provide great tuition, and a fun, relaxed environment. I would highly recommend Sydney Alexander Technique to musicians of all levels looking to play their instrument with greater ease, fluency and enjoyment. "
Andrew Blanch - Classical Guitarist
"I really think the classes are fantastic. I haven't got the serious back pain since the introduction lesson, and my back has been improved since. Before, I normally saw physiotherapist every two weeks; I haven't seen him since July (that's more than four months ago!)"
Simon
"Greg's therapy through Alexander Technique offers a most profound insight - how to spend every minute of every day not hurting myself. Through careful, detailed observation, Greg can and does help people move better and know the true physical nature of relaxation."
Lyndall Scott - Music Teacher
"I was in a desperate situation trying to break free of the constant spinal discomfort that tortured me every day. Alexander gave me the skills to manage my condition very effectively, in a way what other therapies could not."
David Starr
"Cathy's workshops are always extraordinary. Having a diverse group of people with various amounts of experience in AT, from someone's first time with the work to experienced teachers, allows me to get views into the technique that I can't get in a one on one session. With her sense of humour and wealth of experience Cathy provides insights into a huge range of activities - can't wait for the next one!"
