Islay Alexander Technique Centre

November News

As we slip into winter, there’s a quiet about Islay - just the sound of gathering geese and always the sea; autumn is a time of wonderful colour here: land and trees but also the sea and the sky in constant change - blues, greens, greys.

Local interest in Alexander Technique encouraging as ever: talk to the PM Club in Port Charlotte last week provided lively interest.

New gift vouchers available for single lessons or courses for the coming festive season and beyond - click on the link for further info.   

Autumn 2008 on Islay

Light changing by the day here, geese already here for the winter. Landscape colours fantastic as ever and we’re pulling on the hats and gloves and getting out there to look at them.

Classes continue weekly on Thursday evenings here in Portnahaven, and we’ve just finished a series of mornings in the Gaelic Centre introducing new people to the benefits of the Alexander Technique.

New Holiday courses planned for the next few months 21-24 November and a New Year holiday retreat course January 3rd-10th - Islay is spectacular in the winter: experience it at its most remote, more wild geese than people and learn how to use the Alexander Technique while enjoying the environment and warm welcome.   

More Holiday courses planned for 2009 - see Holidays, Classes and Courses page for details.   

New Courses on Islay this Summer

Summer in full swing on Islay!

There’s a group course in Alexander Technique running for 4 weeks in the Gaelic Centre on Friday mornings 1-21 August 11am-12.30 - this will be an introduction or supplement to individual lessons and will look at practical ways of changing habit patterns to improve balance, posture, flexibility and awareness: booking essential as limited numbers: plenty of individual attention! To book email Lynn on info@islayalexandertechnique.com

Stretch, relax and movement class at Rhinns Hall, Portnahaven every Thursday evening at 7pm: no need to book, no special experience required - just come along! Vistors to Islay are welcome.
