Wave: Brighton School For Alexander

Louise Michel talks to Suzie Sanderson

Suzie and her husband, Chris, are internationally renowned teachers of Alexander, and have taught 40,000 sessions. They offer practitioner training at their beautiful Georgian home in Kemptown, and run one of the most successful private practises in the country. Suzie says that “Anybody of any age can learn Alexander.”

Why become a practitioner?
Sarah Eddy cast member STOMP – “This course is brilliant”

Angela East cellist – “For anyone who is considering training, I would say: ‘Do not hesitate’”
People who come in with physical complaints are often surprised by the lift in spirits. Julia Bishop, an international violinist: “It seems that getting rid of aches and pains is only the beginning, it’s the psychological stuff which amazes me. A total liberation.” The Brighton School offers MSTAT qualification, running during school terms. Suzie tells me that most of their students are now in private practise, explaining how professionals from a variety of backgrounds have been inspired to retrain.

“One of the advantages of being a practitioner is you only need a table, you can teach anywhere in the world, and have an income post-retirement!” she beams. “It’s all about liberating people in mind
body and spirit.”
