With his profession in physiotherapy and a lifetime of experience in the Arts,  Jonathon does what few Alexander Teachers can do. He seamlessly blends science and art, truth and beauty.

Jonathon infuses love of life directly into their  lively and imaginative teaching of Alexander Technique.   Playful and knowledgable, sensitive and skillful, they bring a wide range of life experiences to their teaching craft.

A joyous teacher not to be missed

Nicholas Clapton

“I have had the good fortune to work with Jonathon Quick on a number of occasions. As a singer and teacher of singing I find his  use and application of the Alexander Technique remarkably inspiring and extraordinarily effective, both practically and psychologically.

……..

Carol Fieldhouse (dartington summer school participant)

This year I experienced Alexander Teacher, Jonathon, in Nick Clapton’s workshop and again found the Technique extremely helpful and sought Jonathon out for a one to one session during the week. The subtle suggestions/adjustments he makes in a sensitive and respectful way enhanced my experience this year. Their attentive listening and joy of helping people both in performance and finding ease as they sing is instantly apparent. In a week of music making an Alexander Technique teacher is a great asset.

Poetry for the mind body and soul

‘I first approached Jonathon  looking for help finding ‘ease’ in one thing. Owing to  the holistic nature of AT they ended up helping me find ‘ease’ in many things. I am using the term ‘ease’ in the sense of freedom from un-intended tension. Jonathon has been brilliant at adapting the lessons to address the issue of my day  – we might set off in one direction and then find ourselves facing a completely different one. I invariably leave feeling better, lighter, taller and more at ease than when I arrived. Their approach to teaching is gentle, encouraging, humorous and wonderfully enlightening. You should try it
