Alexander Technique in London SE1

About us

Peter Nobes qualified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique in 1993. He originally started having lessons to improve his co-ordination but soon found the benefits were as much mental as physical. After years of teaching people with RSI and other work-related problems Peter became interested in how we sit at workstations, and gained a qualification in Ergonomics from the European Centre for Health and Medical Science. He founded the South Bank Alexander Centre in 2001.

Glynn MacDonald trained in the Alexander Technique at the Constructive Teaching Centre in 1972. She has taught at performance schools and theatres around the world including LAMDA and the Central School of Speech and Drama. She is currently Master of Movement at Shakespeare’s Globe, and works with Globe Education to provide sessions for undergraduates and continuing professional development for teachers. Glynn has written two books on the Alexander Technique.

Lyn Arlotte joined the Centre in 2008 having graduated from the Alexander Technique Training School in Central London. A former Yoga teacher, Lyn is interested in the self-healing capacity of the body. Having suffered herself from RSI, she has found that the Alexander Technique provides a basis not only for recovery from injury but also a foundation for future good health.

Susan Brennan qualified as a teacher from the London Centre for Alexander Technique and Training in 2011. Sue originally became interested in the Alexander Technique whilst suffering from lower back pain; lessons had such an impact she decided to train as a teacher. Sue now enjoys the clarity of thought and presence of mind that the Alexander Technique has helped her to regain.
