Welcome: I'm Jill Payne, a fully qualified and experienced Alexander Technique teacher based in Beckenham, SE London. I offer one-to-one lessons and introductory workshops for groups.
Skill for life: The Technique teaches you how to make the best of yourself and improve the way you move and function. It is a simple set of skills that can greatly improve:
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Posture
- Mobility
- Balance
- Co-ordination
- Ease of movement
- Breathing
- Stress
- Confidence
- Awareness
- General functioning
- A stable sense of yourself
Covid-19: During the current measures I am not teaching in person just yet, but you can take lessons with me online with Zoom. I allow 60 minutes for these lessons and you get your first two for the price of one!
Clear safety measures are in place for when I resume teaching in person and I will discuss these with everyone beforehand.
We must maintain security and safety for ourselves, and one another, in the current crisis.
Try an online lesson: Online sessions can be booked seven days a week from 10am - 5pm). Email or call me to discuss a good time slot for you.
Concessions may be available in some circumstances. Please contact me for a chat about your needs.
