I have been teaching the Technique since 1986.

I studied piano at the Guildhall school of Music and Drama previously.

The technique can help people on so many different levels.

We can be more conscious of unhelpful habits, such as clenching our jaw or holding our breath,that develop over time. Regular lessons help us to let go of these habits more easily.

Collapsing when working with a laptop for instance, or when sitting watching a screen.

Concentration is fine as long as we are aware of our surroundings too, so lessons encourage a wider sense of where we are.

It is so easy to over work our bodies, and only then notice that our back or neck hurts.

We can sit, lost in a thought, or a problem, and find that we had been holding our breaths or were lob-sided......

So learning the Technique can help us to be conscious in stillness or movement.

Less holding and more balance.

We discover that support from the ground and our surroundings can give us a new “habit” of awareness and ease in whatever we do.

The lessons are taught with gentle guidance of the hands and allow each person to understand their patterns of holding which might no longer be helpful.

Learning to coordinate with our head neck and back is so important for our well being and lightness of step!

Less trying or “doing” can help us feel freer and more balanced.....so, the choice is ours

A lot of actors,musicians and athletes have used this Technique for many years but people from all walks of life find it helpful....
