Shelagh Aitken started
having Alexander lessons as a music student at the Guildhall School of Music and
Drama in London, where she was studying baroque music and having lessons on the
baroque flute with Stephen Preston.
Many years later, after a
long and painful recovery from shoulder surgery, Shelagh decided to join the
three year Alexander Technique training program at the
Constructive Teaching Centre
under Walter Carrington.
Along the way, she found
that other things changed for the better, along with the shoulders: the
Alexander Technique, as Walter Carrington said, is a technique for living.
Shelagh is a member of the
Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. She teaches privately in North
London and Central London and is also a teaching assistant at two Alexander
Technique training schools. |
