Alexander Technique workshops on the Greek Island of Alonnisos in 2012

“The best holiday I ever had!” Shalinee, production manager

Penny and Spiros the dog would like to invite you to our workshops and lessons in Alexander Technique on the beautiful Greek island of Alonnisos.

The 2011 workshops were such fun, we thought we’d do them again! And as usual we’re also offering customised courses and individual lessons throughout the summer, to fit in with your own holiday plans.

Workshop Dates

15th – 22nd June for all levels

29th June – 6th July for all levels

13th – 20th July for teachers/trainees and advanced levels

31st Aug – 6th September all levels

To ensure individual quality attention I will only take a maximum of 6 people, and will cost between €595 – €665 euros and include accommodation but not food.

Individual lessons for those who don’t enjoy group courses or can’t make those dates are €35 each or €315 for 10, accommodation not included but advised on.

The Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a gentle hands-on teaching known to restore our natural health, poise and vitality; relieve neck and shoulder tensions, back pain, breathing disorders and stress; develop excellence in the performing arts and sports; and re-awaken our consciousness.

Venue

The workshops and lessons take place on my teaching terrace at 113 Old Village, Alonnisos, overlooking sea, olive groves and islands. The accommodation will be at Fantasia, a local family run pension, or in small villas and traditional houses in the village.

Alonnisos

…is a quiet Greek island of herbs, pine forests, olive groves, boat taxis, a sunken village, tavernas, dolphins and crystal clear sea. Great for swimming, snorkelling and doing nothing! Have a look at the island in this video on youtube.

The Course

In the mornings we will walk down the mule track to the local bay, swim in the blue Aegean waters, apply the Technique to Chi Kung exercise and a walk back up to the village for the individual hands-on lessons in my shaded terrace.
In the early evenings we will continue our learning as a group, before dispersing for dinner and social gatherings in local tavernas or to swim again under the stars. The afternoons are left free for you to rest reflect and explore the island. Yoga, massage, herbal walks are also available (see links) and I will organise an optional boat trip to visit other islands and bays.

Individual lessons

For those of you who don’t enjoy group courses, or can’t make these dates, please feel free to book a course of individual private lessons with Penny who will be teaching as usual in Alonnisos from mid-June to mid September 2012 For more information about Penny, please visit her site www.alexanderpen.co.uk
