Brides

There are many benefits from having Alexander Technique lessons before this big day. If you start having lessons well before making the final decision on your dress, when the dress is being fitted it will actually fit better, hang better and make you look even more stunning. Obviously the better your 'posture' the better the clothes look.

Also with better 'posture' you will cope with the weight of the dress and flowers (if this is an issue).

The Alexander Technique teaches us HOW. How to use ourselves better and that includes how to walk efficiently. When we walk efficiently we actually only use our legs - the torso and head is balanced and just glide along on top. When we have learnt the freedom and ease of movement, of being in balance, and stop collapsing, we then can be confident in moving. The Technique also teaches people how to stop showing the nervousness that can cause problems when everyone is watching. With good 'posture' comes confidence and so you can walk with grace and assurance.

At the end of your big day, having greeted many people, been kissed, congratulated and posing for dozens of photos, having known how to use yourself well will mean you are not totally exhausted and aching. You are still stunning and running!

The best thing is that having had Alexander lessons the benefits last much, much longer than just this special day. With awareness they can last you your lifetime.

If you decide that Alexander Technique lessons are a great idea for you then why not suggest them to the rest of the wedding party. It could be the best advice you could give them.
