My name is Paola Corteen; I had my first Alexander Technique lessons in Italy in 1982 at a school where I studied dance. In December 1986 I qualified in the Alexander Technique after attending a three year, full time training course at the North London Teacher Training Course run by Misha Magidov, and I have taught ever since.

I have introduced and taught the Alexander Technique to many people with different complaints: back problems, recovery from injuries, problems related to stress, people interested in their well-being, and to drama students, dancers and musicians.

I teach at the Westminster Alexander Centre in London, WC2 and in Winchmore Hill, N21. Periodically I also run short introductory group courses. I am a member of S.T.A.T. (Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique). For contact details please see above.
