Alexander Technique in Glasgow with Michal Segal

History

I am a member of STAT(Society of Teachers of Alexander Technique) and have been teaching in Glasgow for almost 20 years.
Trained as a teacher of the Alexander Technique at The North London Teacher Training Course (1990-1993). Head principle : Misha Magidov (trained by Patrick Macdonald) .
For a period of two years I had regular individual lessons with Margaret Goldie (1905-1997), who was trained by Alexander himself.

Work Experience includes:
Teaching private lessons to the public since 1993, courses for Lifelong Learning at the University of Strathclyde, the Arc of Caledonian University and Langside College. Workshops for groups of hospital, office and university staff, actors, dancers, musicians, singers and a choir.

Advantages of studying here

Here are some quotes written by people who participated in my introductory workshops and courses for groups:

“I have known Michal for some years. Michal has been teaching me one-to-one lessons and has also taught several Alexander Technique workshops to our tango pupils. Michal has a great understanding of the Alexander Technique which she shares with passion and exceptional skill. In her one-to-one lessons she is always alert to one's individual needs. When working with a group Michal engages everyone in a very natural way. Michal's profound expertise and charismatic personality make her lessons always a treat!”
Catherine - Tango Tipica

"Thanks for the excellent sessions you provided for us this week. We appreciated the calm atmosphere and encouraging tone of the session. It really helped us to take in what we were learning.
It was so good to have the sessions here in our workplace, since we were able to show you some of our concerns about our procedures. In turn you showed us the correct approach to them on site.
We are all much more aware of our movements and feel that it has been of great value both in general terms and in how we approach ourwork."
Laura Hogg
Education Development Librarian at Glasgow Gaelic School.

"Michal has been employed by the Centre for Lifelong Learning for several years, teaching on the Evening and Weekend Programme of Classes for Adults. She has tutored classes in Alexander Technique, and I can report that I have found her to be a committed and conscientious teacher whose work has attracted extremely positive student evaluations. Her efforts have resulted in extremely popular classes which provide positive learning experiences for her students. Her classes are consistently oversubscribed. I am very impressed at her calm and methodical approach to her classes as well as her pedagogical insights and academic knowledge of the Alexander Technique".

"The teacher was extremely informative and very good at communicating with all people. She took time to assist each person individually and with time".

"This was a very helpful course and I have tried to implement the things I have learnt. I have also already applied some of the principles and concepts in my practice with other patients. Many thanks".
