Adrian Farrell MSTAT - Alexander Technique & Craniosacral Therapy

Adrian Farrell is a simply terrific teacher of the Alexander Technique. I'd taken lessons something like 25 years ago, and they never really stuck" for me. But Adrian's explanations were really clear and made huge sense to me. The lessons were very effective indeed - being online was no barrier at all. Highly recommended for any serious would-be student of the Technique."

I began online Alexander Technique lessons with Adrian as I was becoming increasingly aware of tension in my body when playing bass guitar. Adrian's knowledge as both an AT teacher and a musician helped me release the tension I had as well as mitigate new tension arising. I gained a lot from our in-depth discussions about technique and mindfulness while making music.

Adrian is brilliant!!! As a physician myself I share with him a great understanding of anatomy, as well as a deep love for physics and music ;)Adrian not only understands the many key concepts of posture (or poise as he prefers), he is an outstanding teacher. He is exceptionally inductive at identifying one’s dysfunctions and is able to relate corrective behavior in a simplified manner. His technique should be standard teaching in grade school, and would be a great benefit to society in that manner. Unfortunately it’s not so we’re left to learn it as an adult, which is more difficult because we have to unlearn all our bad habits. Fortunately Adrian is a master teacher and everyone would benefit from his lessons.

I have been seeing Adrian for three months now and my back pain has improved immensely.Also, I feel more confident and more aware of my body and the way I move.Adrian is serious, kind and trustworthy and very skilled at teaching the Alexander Technique.Highly recommended.

Adrian is a great teacher, enthusiastic and a very good communicator. I have found working with him to not only be insightful and informative but also engaging and fun.I can thoroughly recommend him to anyone wishing to not only know about AT but also more importantly learn how to practically apply those skills in every day living and work situations. As a working musician / composer I spend a lot of hours recording guitar and piano and also in front of computer screens and his teaching has really helped me do all of them with a more conscious and informed approach, focusing on breathing and many other aspects.He's good, try him out and you'll be glad you did - I was!

I started having lessons with Adrian after watching a video about Alexander Technique for guitarists.I had suffered from lower back pain for 18 months. An X-ray and an MRI scan confirmed that there was no serious damage. However, the pain still persisted, especially upon waking in the morning.I tried everything, including buying a new mattress. It became clear that the pain was due to spending many hours each day sitting down, playing and teaching the guitar.I found Adrian's methods to be extremely helpful. The pain has since been greatly reduced, I have more flexibility in my back and I now follow a daily Alexander routine. I feel I am very much on the road to recovery and have been given the physical and mental tools to maintain good poise.

I can't say enough good things about my experience learning Alexander Technique from Adrian. I was experiencing quite a lot of back pain during my office job, and while searching online to figure out how i could relieve it, i found Adrian's blog and Youtube channel. What made him stand out from the rest was that he wasn't just proffering exercises to temporarily alleviate symptoms. He was describing a whole new perspective on the body, where you actually understand the root causes of that pain and can deal with the problem directly.And more than just a physical regimen, Adrian's lessons have honestly changed my perspective on other aspects of my life as well. The ideas from Alexander Technique about resistance and rigidity vs acceptance and dynamism have noticeably improved my relationships with myself and with others, in addition to mitigating the physical discomfort that initially led me to Alexander Technique.I'm seriously grateful that he started offering online consultations this year (as i moved away from the UK this past October), and booking with him is one of the best investments i've made in recent memory.

I dont normally leave a review, but Adrian has helped me so much with the tightness in my head that I would like people to know that his work is truly phenomenal. After a session I feel so calm and relaxed . I can highly recommend him.

Adrian is kind, generous and thoughtful! He really cares and is both an excellent Alexander Technique teacher and Craniosacral Therapist. Most importantly he is a supportive person! Ravinder

Adrian is a brilliant AT teacher! I have had a few lessons with him to help alleviate neck/back pain as a result of poor posture. In each session, he does a great job alleviating tension in my body and helping me to move in a more natural way. Adrian is very knowledgable, friendly and professional. If you’re looking for an AT teacher in the area, I can’t recommend him enough.
