Daniel Parr BA, MSTAT

Before I started to train to be a Alexander Technique teacher, I’d studied to be an accountant and had a career in corporate investigations.

I started my Alexander Technique journey in 2007 in order to improve my mobility and co-ordination. In 2017 I began a 3 year, 1600 hour training course in order to qualify as an Alexander Technique teacher. As well as running a busy practice in Sheffield, I also act as:

• Visiting teacher as the Manchester Alexander Technique Teacher Training School (MATTS)

• Visiting teacher at the Royal Northern College of Music

• Visiting teacher for trainee doctors at Sheffield University Medical School

• Teacher of Alexander Technique and body mechanics teacher at the annual Sheffield Tango Festival

• Martial arts instructor (wing chun) for 15 years.

The Alexander Technique has helped me identify unhelpful habits in the way that I move and think, it has changed my life and how I relate with people and the environment in numerous ways, and has been the most valuable learning experience I have encountered. My passion is to pass on the principles of the Technique to as many people as possible, to improve their lives in the way that it has improved mine.

I teach Wing Chun Kung Fu both on a one-to-one basis and in groups. This has given me the opportunity to introduce Alexander ideas to hundreds of people and improve their balance and movement as they learn a difficult skill. When not working I enjoy applying the technique to all other aspects of my life, including playing the guitar and walking.

As a qualified Alexander Technique teacher, I am fully insured and a member of the professional body for Alexander teachers (STAT). I have a current Enhanced DBS certificate and as such can work with children and vulnerable.
