Poor Posture? Anxious? In Pain?
The Art of Conscious Embodiment
Discover a different way of being in your body.
Through the Alexander Technique, learn to recognise unnecessary tension, rediscover natural poise, and develop greater ease, awareness and freedom in everyday life.
Individual lessons with Leán van den Bergh, a SASTAT-accredited Alexander Technique teacher with a master's degree in philosophy.
What could change for you?
Imagine sitting at your computer without constantly adjusting your posture. Moving through your day with less unnecessary effort. Noticing when tension takes hold — and discovering that you have more choice in how you respond.
Perhaps you're experiencing persistent discomfort, feeling overwhelmed, or simply curious about a different way of being in yourself.
Alexander Technique lessons offer an opportunity to explore greater ease, coordination and conscious freedom in everyday life.
Through gentle hands-on guidance and practical exploration, you'll learn to recognise patterns of unnecessary effort and discover how to support your body's natural capacity for movement and balance.
This is not about forcing yourself into better posture or simply trying to relax. It's about developing a skill you can bring into your work, relationships and ordinary activities.

“I have spinal scoliosis—so I’m destined to have a hunched posture and weird shoulders and walk all tight and bent over and just live with back pain.. right? I thought so… Wrong! I am currently working with Leán — and my whole life and body has changed; I am literally straighter and taller! Over the past few years she has helped me discover, break through and change decades of both inhibiting and crooked physical habits, and their accompanying psychological baggage. She works with incredible patience, insight and a light and calm touch that somehow, magically, allows me to find a new way to walk in the world, physically and more fully ‘with mysefl’. Thank you!”
