ABOUT KORINA

Korina is a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (www.stat.org.uk). She started having lessons herself in 1994 whilst at university. She discovered that it led to the reduction in back and neck pain brought about by habits of tension and a back injury from Aikido. It also helped her manage stress. She continued to have lessons throughout the four years that she spent working as a physical theatre performer and teacher with Frantic Assembly as it improved the quality of her movement and voice. This inspired her to embark on a three-year Alexander Technique teacher training course.

Korina has a busy practice teaching individuals, and giving talks and workshops to a variety of organisations. These include West Sussex County Council, the Southdown Housing Association, and Sightsavers International and the Shiatsu College. She has taught at the Arts Educational Drama School, and teaches on an annual residential for the Hampshire County Youth Orchestra.

An active participant in STAT's continuing professional development program, she is also the regional Alexander teachers' representative and organises regular professional development workshops.

She continues to reap the benefits of the Technique and is enriched by her involvement in different forms of dance, mainly lindy hop, 5 Rhythms, and contact improvisation.
