Kaleidoscope turns 10 on September 16, 2009.

The last ten years have been a lovely trip, and we’re deeply grateful to all of you who have contributed in one way or the other to making Kaleidoscope what it is today. We keep getting pleasantly surprised - on a continuing basis - how much we’ve grown as an organization and as individuals.

We look forward to continuing our journey… We’d love your company!

The Alexander Technique is not so much something you learn as something you unlearn. It is a method of releasing unwanted muscular tension throughout your body which has accumulated over many years of stressful living. This excess tension often starts in childhood and, if left unchecked, can give rise in later life to common ailments such as arthritis, neck and back pain, migraines, hypertension, sciatica, insomnia and even depression.
Specifically, the Alexander Technique helps if you:
  • Suffer from repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Have a backache or stiff neck and shoulders.
  • Become uncomfortable when sitting at your computer for long periods of time
  • Are a singer, musician, actor, dancer or athlete and feel you are not performing at your full potential.
