KATHERINE SOWERBY
Band leader, dance and drumming teacher

I studied the Alexander Technique for three years between the ages of 13 and 16. I had ambitions to become a dancer and was told my posture was not good enough, so my parents took me to see an Alexander Technique teacher to resolve the problem.

The Alexander Technique training I received became a valuable tool for living and has informed all areas of my life and work. I now perform and teach percussion and dance and I regularly draw upon my knowledge and experience of my Alexande rteaching.

I am able to help my students to use their bodies in a way that is balanced without adding extra tension to their movements, and to maintain good posture as well.

From my study of the Alexander technique I have gained an inner knowledge about my body and awareness of how it feels to be balanced and free. Because of this, even when I go through periods of not practicing good posture or looking after myself, I can always draw on that knowledge and physical memory in order to reconnect with my physical self and, once more, create balance and harmony within my body.
