I'm Tanya Shoop and I teach the Alexander Technique in Brixton, London SW2 (and Herne Hill SE24/ Tulse Hill SE27 borders) and in the City of London.

The Alexander Technique helps us to be more aware of ourselves. It's about understanding how we use our bodies and how we misuse them - often through tension or poor posture. By learning a more natural way of being - in movement and stillness - we can have better posture and a more comfortable way of living.

The good news is that the Alexander Technique doesn't involve sitting or standing bolt upright, pushing the shoulders back and tilting the chin up. It's much more gentle. You don't need to be in pain or have poor posture to come as it's great to come before problems set in.

Find out more about lessons and have a look at some thoughts and ideas.

I also bring my Alexander insight into the workplace DSE ergonomics assessor, looking at how people are set up at their computers and how this impacts on their posture.
