Personal Story

Korina started having lessons herself in 1994 whilst at university studying sociology. She discovered that it led to the reduction in back and neck pain brought about by habits of tension, as well as from a back injury from Aikido. She continued to have lessons throughout the four years that she spent working as a physical theatre performer and teacher with Frantic Assembly. As well as a reduction in pain and stress, lessons in the Alexander Technique improved the quality of her movement and voice and she was inspired her to embark on a three-year Alexander Technique teacher training course.

She now enjoys applying the Alexander Technique to playing the piano, running, swimming and cycling and to various dance practices – including Lindy Hop, 5 Rhythms, & contact improvisation.

She also has an MA with distinction in Dance & Somatic Well-being from UCLAN and works as a somatic movement facilitator. For more on this go to www.thespaciousself.co.uk
