About School for F.M. Alexander Studies
The School for F.M. Alexander Studies is a movement and mind-body education centre in Preston, dedicated to the Alexander Technique and to helping people move with greater ease, awareness and freedom from chronic tension. It serves both the general public and those training to become teachers, making it a genuine hub for considered, body-focused practice in Melbourne's north.
Alongside private Alexander Technique lessons, the school runs Smart Yoga classes across several Melbourne locations and online, plus workshops and retreats on themes like walking with ease, working with musicians and strengthening your bones. The teaching is patient and process-driven, attracting people working through long-standing back, neck and shoulder pain as well as singers, musicians and movers wanting to refine how they use their bodies.
Students describe slow, steady, powerful change, crediting the technique with restoring health, easing chronic pain and deepening their physical and mental self-awareness. The school suits anyone curious about movement re-education, looking for a gentle yet effective path to better posture and mobility, or seeking a supportive space to study a practice that carries into everyday life and work.
