Alexander Technique Lessons
in Portslade
Helping people live with less pain, tension and unnecessary effort.
I teach Alexander Technique to help people who feel stuck in patterns of tension, pain, stress, or over-effort — physically or mentally —
and who want to move and live with more ease.
I work one-to-one in my Portslade home studio serving Brighton, Hove and Shoreham. Many of the people I work with come to me because they’ve tried other approaches and are looking for something practical, mindful, and sustainable.
Who I work with
People come to Alexander Technique lessons for many reasons, including:
-
Ongoing back, neck or shoulder pain
-
Stress, anxiety, or feeling constantly “on edge”
-
Postural discomfort or fatigue
-
Breathing difficulties or tension
-
Recovering from injury or long-term strain
-
Wanting more ease in everyday movement and life
You don’t need to be “good at movement” — the work meets you where you are.
What Alexander Technique offers
Alexander Technique is a practical, gentle approach that helps you notice and change unhelpful habits of tension and effort.
Rather than exercises or treatments, lessons help you develop awareness, coordination, and choice — so that everyday activities like sitting, standing, walking, working, or resting become easier, more comfortable and less tiring.
Many people describe feeling calmer, more balanced, and more at home in themselves.
About me
I am a fully qualified Alexander Technique teacher with 9 years experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds. My work is informed by long-term study of movement, anatomy, wellbeing, and human development.
I work with hands-on guidance and clear verbal instruction, with a strong emphasis on embodied awareness as I am visually impaired.

Dr Azzy Calderbank, GP says
“I decided to have Alexander Technique lessons with Tara to help alleviate muscular tension and pain in my neck and shoulders. I found her to be a wise, experienced and patient teacher, and I felt instantly at ease in her presence. My neck and shoulder pains are now a distant memory, and I would thoroughly recommend lessons with Tara to anyone experiencing similar issues.”
