My latest post, talks about how the Alexander Technique takes a radically different approach to life’s challenges. It offers a better solution than simply trying really hard to get something right, and then trying even harder if we encounter problems. Rather than just trying to 'fix it', learning the technique enables us to be clear what we want and then helps us achieve it in the smoothest, easiest way possible.

We're living through a time of unprecedented stress, chronic pain, and a growing sense of helplessness in the face of a fast-changing, often dysfunctional world. More than ever, people are searching for practical ways of finding better balance, resilience, and a sense of agency in their lives — and these are exactly what the Alexander Technique can enable.
Yet rather than flourishing to meet this expanding need, the numbers of Alexander teachers and teacher training courses has been dwindling over the past couple of decades.
In my latest blog post, I explore why this might have been happening — and, more importantly, how the Alexander community is evolving to meet the urgent needs of today: https://julia-woodman.co.uk/2025/09/30/is-it-all-about-me/

I just published a new blog post with some of the highlights from the 13th International Alexander Technique Congress in Dublin. The event brought together over 850 Alexander teachers from around the world for a full week of inspiring talks and hands-on workshops. Topics ranged from pain science and trauma to education and performance, showing just how wide-reaching and relevant the Alexander Technique really is: https://julia-woodman.co.uk/blog/
