Martin Warner | The Alexander Technique

Martin was privileged to experience 4 years training with Don Weed. Don, who lives in Zurich was an apprentice of Master Teacher Marjorie Barstow, who herself was trained by F.M. Alexander, the originator of the technique, in London.

He has also run workshops in Portugal. In July 2009 he presented his work at the International UNESCO Singing Symposium (part of Festival 500) in Canada with great success. Martin continues to work with a broad spectrum of clients which include; professional opera singers, vocalists, actors, musicians, golfers, athletes, health care practioners; who as a result continue to reach higher levels of success in all that they do.

Testimonials

"If the truth be known Martin is out there by himself. I have had lessons for more than 30 years, many with pupils of Mr Alexander. Martin's presence is unique - makes the 'work' more comfortable and easy and his skill is peerless. " (Still, Martin always has deference for his teacher, his teacher's teacher, and Mr Alexander).
Norman Chancer, Actor

"At a recent lesson with Martin. I had a deep realisation that the more sessions I do with him the richer the work becomes and that possibilities really do become limitless. What I enjoy so much about working with Martin is his absolute commitment to the work, the intelligence he brings to the conversation and the safe environment he always provides."
Anne, Textile Designer Dorset

"I met Martin two years ago and was impressed by the way he teaches the Alexander Technique. I have gained so much from his lessons since then and I am always keen to introduce other people to this way of taking responsibility for their life. Working in the health field for over 20 years I appreciate the importance of empowering clients and Martin helps us to move beyond our own previously held ideas and limiting beliefs. A truly stunning experience with plenty of fun and laughter as we learn more and more about ourselves and others."
