FM Alexander, founder of The Alexander Technique, was born 150 years ago on the 20th January 1869. To celebrate the occasion the FM Alexander Trust hosted a party in conjunction with HITE at Harley Street on Friday evening with the theme, ‘Think up, Dress up and Turn up’. 

Have just finished with my last Alexander Technique client in Harley Street for the day and walked through Cavendish Square and onto Oxford Street. Yes – you CAN feel the difference! The energy and numbers of people filled with excitement, anticipation and expectation of the Olympic Games is palpable. And that it is not raining, just now, is a bonus! 

 

At HITE we are really looking forward to the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Not so much for the ceremony itself but because it marks the start of the Games that have been 7 years in gestation. We want to see the athletes, the A-W of sports from archery to weightlifting (there is no X, Y or Z!) and perhaps like many others endeavour to discern what makes the greatest great.
