Workshops

Would you like to work with Maaike and me but is this difficult because you live far away?
Or is the Alexander technique new for you and do you want to spend a weekend or week to get an in depth introduction?
Do you need to find peace, to calm down in nature and at the same time rebalance yourself with individual lessons and workshops?
Do you like to practise this technique with a group of people so you can share your experiences?
Do you need inspiration and a deeper understanding of the balance in your body, your mind, your emotions and your life?

Then an Alexander technique weekend or week is something for you!

Below is an overview of the coming workshops and courses.

Super! Very relaxed; a special holiday feeling. But what I actually find most important: the connection and solidarity and the wonderful atmosphere in the group. Not a single day or moment of discord. And there were lots of laughter. Despite the fact that the group was quite big, there was personal attention for everyone.

Alexander technique summer week

Together with my collegue Maaike Aarts I teach a summer course every your in the north of France, in the wonderful village of Fontaines St. Clair. The setting is relaxed, surrounded by beautiful nature and with delicious food and cosy accommodation. The ideal circumstances to immerse yourself for five days in the Alexander technique and at the same time find total calm and peace.

You can find more information about accommodation here. Or have a look on the website of Fontaines.

Participating in the Alexander technique summer week with Maaike and Doris has made me much more conscious of my patterns and habits in how I move. It has inspired me to find ways to move with more ease and freedom. A wonderful week with two very engaged and inspiring teachers!

Alexander technique winter weekend

Together with my collegue Maaike Aarts I offer weekend retreats a few times a year, usually at a beautiful location in the Netherlands. A great opportunity to calm down, give your Alexander technique skills a boost or get familiar with it if you are a beginner. And of course to go for a walk, read, eat great food…

It was an amazing week with a really nice group of people. You have both provided a very good atmosphere and lessons of high quality, compliments!

Tailormade workshops

I also offer tailormade workshops for all kinds of groups.

Are you a teacher of music, theatre or dance and do you want to help your students with the coordination and consciousness of their body? Do you want to help them to move and play with more expression and freedom?
Or do you want to discover the Alexander technique with a group of friends? Maybe there are certain subjects you talk about togehter? Busy with work and kids, how do I keep myself calm; stress at work how do I survive; getting older, how do I stay balanced and flexible?
Or maybe you notice at work that you and your collegues are having a hard time? Long days, many hours behind the computer, deadlines and stress? Do you wish there was a way to keep enjoying your work more?

Together with you or your group, I can create a tailormade workshop, in which we will address your questions with the Alexander technique. We find out what suits your group and I will adjust the workshop to that. I will give you an introduction in the Alexander technique and I will give you some valuable tips and exercises which you can take home.
