Sit without discomfort

Comments from some of my students

I went to Simon to learn to manage the lower back pain and sciatica I’d had for a year. I started as a novice but Simon's relaxed manner meant I readily felt at ease in the lessons.

Over the weeks I worked with him he carefully introduced me to an expanding suite of methods to improve my posture and movement. As I learnt to integrate these into my daily life, and into specialised activities such as singing and playing clarinet, I felt the benefit of easier movement and sitting..

Simon is an excellent teacher; he is thoughtful, responsive and effective. I have enjoyed our sessions enormously.

Simon is a patient and sensitive teacher of the Alexander Technique. He repeatedly assesses the needs of each student and carefully watches the progress and changes that take place.

I have found that my posture and sense of balance have improved, giving a feeling of wellbeing.

I’ve had several different Alexander teachers over the years but Simon has helped me most. He makes things really clear and has really helped me understand how to help myself.

Discovering the Alexander Technique with Simon has been one of the best things to happen to me since my diagnosis of Parkinson's disease just over a year ago.

Just writing this recommendation has stopped my tremor without me thinking about it!

If genius is 'transcendent capacity of taking trouble', then Simon Fenn is a genius in teaching Alexander Technique. His patience, clarity, subtlety and sensitivity in both explaining and instructing the practice of the technique have enabled me to change the way I move, sit and stand, whether at my desk or on stage, in running shoes or behind the steering wheel. These changes are already doing me good and, I am convinced, will continue to benefit my health, fitness and general well-being.

One important milestone for me was having confidence in being able to sit and enjoy musical and theatrical live performances again without undue discomfort. Thank you!

A great bonus for me has been a dramatic improvement in my sleep at night ever since the first lesson.

After only half a dozen sessions with Simon I found myself walking more lightly and moving more easily - a novelty at my advanced years!

John M, Physics teacher

It has been a joy to be a client of Simon's and discover the Alexander Technique for myself. The sessions have given me new ways of thinking about movement and more specifically have released my lower back and freed my head and neck.

Gill W Pilates teacher

Although the progress of my Parkinson's Disease is not completely arrested, the sessions with Simon have helped to slow the process down and more generally have helped to lessen the impact of Parkinson's by releasing tensions and lessening anxiety. Thank you Simon.

And he makes me laugh - which is another element of genius in a teacher . . .
