Connected Conversations: Exploring the Space Between – Alexander Technique and Craniosacral Therapy

This month, ASO continues its Connected Conversations series—interviews with Alexander Technique teachers who integrate another professional practice alongside their teaching. In this episode, Erica Donnison speaks with Adrian Farrell, a London-based Alexander Technique teacher and craniosacral therapy (CST) practitioner. Adrian shares his personal journey into both modalities and offers an embodied perspective on their interplay. Rather than providing a formal comparison, the conversation explores how working with both has shaped his understanding—touching on nervous system sensitivity, therapeutic versus educational roles, and the impact of online teaching. While grounded in personal reflection, the discussion raises broader questions about aspects of touch, processes of change, the challenges of articulating embodied experience, and more.
