Pippa Bondy MSTAT

Pip BondyI have developed and maintained a thriving Alexander Technique private practice since 1991, and have a total of 20 years experience as an Alexander teacher.
I've worked with thousands of people and developed my work to support those who suffer from pain and trauma, both physical and emotional. I have facilitated courses for staff at children's hospices and trained student Alexander Technique teachers in the UK and the USA. I have also facilitated courses and workshops for the health care, educational, social work and business communities. I currently work in London and North Wales and occasionally in the USA.

As sun shines, and rain falls
The river flows
And mountains become themselves
Out of the earth
As we become ourselves
Our breath flows, tears fall
And our spirit shines
Out of the earth.
by Pippa Bondy

Our Body, Mind, and Spirit hold and carry all we've ever been and all we ever will be deep within the musculature of our body and bones.This technique can open a simple experience of being present, being a unified field of attention and expanded awareness.

Thoughts and feelings live in a belief system that can keep us separated and trapped in the past; unable to be in the present, and live the dream we are meant to be.
The Alexander Technique is not just a method for re-aligning your body and emptying you of stress. It can be a means for opening your awareness, expanding your consciousness, and embracing all that you are.

We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot.

I see and feel this special work can offer anyone from any walk of life the art of stillness, a tool to know yourself, and know 'who you are' behind your habits. When FM Alexander made his discoveries and observations he wrote his first book and called it 'Use of the Self'. We are a whole being – mind, body, emotions and spirit. We are connected - to our environment and every aspect of the earth, the seasons and nature. This technique can open a simple experience of being present, being a unified field of attention and awareness.
We embody this connection, it's our birthright and creation - each moment can be an expression of beauty, the mystery of life and a continuous choice for ourselves and our planet to be.

Mr Duffy lived a short distance from his body.
James Joyce
