My fellow Alexander Technique teacher, Hilary King, is running a taster workshop in Islington, London N1 on 11 January 2014 (11.30-1.30).  Minimum Fee £20, which will be donated to the DEC Philippines Appeal.  For details, click here.

Backward-sloping school chairs are a disaster for children's health.  They encourage children to slump, or to tighten unduly to try and maintain an upright posture.  So why are school chairs designed this way?  Because they're easy to stack!  The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique has launched a petition to urge CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) to reassess the technical specifications relating to school chairs.
