Put simply, not only did Noel Kingsley drastically improve my posture, he unlocked vast reserves of self-confidence and improved my digestion.

Adam Sodowick Co-Founder Fifty Lessons

Being able to stop reacting to things in life, and instead inhibit and stay centred, has given me a much better sense of personal control. This has increased my effectiveness but more importantly, my enjoyment of almost everything.

Caroline Marshall, Financial Analyst

Improving my posture has transformed my physical wellbeing. Forty years of neck and back tension has disappeared.

Stephen Pollard, Political Commentator

Having suffered from poor posture for most of my adult life, I had tried various exercise programmes to help me correct my stooping shoulders, and collapsed stance. However, nothing has given me the results and improvement I found after completing a course of Alexander Technique sessions with Noel Kingsley. From the very beginning, I felt different and and now my spine is straighter, I look and feel taller and lighter. I can now participate in yoga and pilates classes without feeling restricted in movement by stiffness in my back and shoulders.

Noel instantly made me feel at ease, and I had absolute trust in him. Going to Noel's consulting rooms was an experience in calm, as well as being beneficial to my health and well-being. Best of all, the techniques Noel taught me have enabled me to maintain the results I achieved. I feel far more confident now, and know exactly what to do when I feel tension threatening to take hold in my back and shoulders.

Soraya Quassem, Dubai

Knocking three strokes off my golf handicap by improving my posture has surprised every one of my opponents. I now play a full round without back ache the following day.

Harry Scott, Property agent

I didn't realise my bad posture has affected my ability to deal with business clients, but my confidence has grown immensely with the Alexander Technique.

Sebastian Boon, financial adviser

I feel taller, my breathing is easier, and also being looser helps me maintain my balance in those awful winter winds which previously threatened to blow me over. Now I feel stronger, I hope to be able to carry on for a few more years.

Ella Scotchmer, 103 years, London

I never thought I would be able to pick up my twins without pain in my back. I can't believe how improving my posture has made playtime with my kids much more fun.

Stephen Burdge, Managing Director, Film design company

I have suffered with ankylosing spondylitis since my early twenties and was beginning to become very round shouldered and stooped which made me self conscious and unhappy. I had tried many techniques to help but nothing worked. Then I met Noel and within only a few sessions i was standing much more upright and felt less 'knotted'. I still visit regularly and am constantly amazed at the results he achieves - when I leave, I am standing straighter with my feet flat on the ground and feel as if I have shed 100lbs!

Nancy Brady

I stand taller, my shoulders are wider and I feel bigger – without any effort.

Jimmy Chan, Investment analyst

My improved posture and coordination has helped me overcome my nervousness. I feel a lot more confident and outgoing. I like myself better.

Pamela Russell, mother

Having Alexander lessons with Noel has helped my voice become clearer and more resonant. I also feel more comfortable when speaking in public.

Ronald Davis, Marketing consultant

I should have done this a long time ago. People tell me I look younger and more relaxed and I feel more cheerful. I was amazed at how quickly I changed after a few sessions. Better posture has helped me feel really, really good.

Karen Levine, Events organiser

Improving my posture has really helped my running. I can run faster and for longer without my knees hurting.

Richard Brodie, designer

The Alexander Technique is my secret weapon in maintaining calm when my hectic lifestyle gets out of control. The improvement in focus and concentration has been a real boost to my work.

Melissa Burrows, Banker

I feel totally great! My balance and coordination has improved which has helped my riding and I’m now show jumping with confidence.

Sheena Wright

The effects of the Alexander Technique have been immediate, long lasting and very positive! From my first appointment, I could feel the muscles in my neck loosen and relax, and I now know how to effect this change for myself. The days of having a stiff, cramped neck are consigned to history!

Theresa Corry, Banker

Since having Alexander lessons for only three weeks I was able to stand at a music concert for four hours with no back pain at all, something which I have not been able to do for five years. I feel fantastic.

Kelly Edge, Secretary

I suffer from chronic back & neck pain. After a session with Noel as well as my symptoms being greatly alleviated I feel generally more relaxed, looser & stress free. The Alexander Technique has made a huge difference to the way in which I enjoy my life.

David Goodhead, IT Trainer

I only regret that I was not taught much earlier in life how beneficial the simple expedient of ‘non-doing’ and following the straight forward instructions of an Alexander teacher could be to my health and well-being. I have since made up for lost time!

Andrew Pinnell, Solicitor

I started Alexander Technique at the last resort but it should have been the first thing I tried. Not only did it improve my knee pain but it also gave me a more positive outlook on life.

Yolande Miquel

The Alexander Technique gave me a new lease of life; almost overnight I felt liberated and strangely vertical.

Stephen Hyett, Solicitor

Having suffered for some time from aching lower back pain and stiff neck, my dentist recommended that I try the Alexander Technique. I was so glad that I did. After only a few sessions I found that my posture had improved immeasurably, my neck had relaxed more and according to my friends I actually looked taller. My back and neck now feel much looser and my all round health and sense of wellness are much improved.

Robert Dove, London

My husband noticed with pleasure I was developing a much better defined waist as a result of the Alexander lessons I was having with Noël Kingsley.

Susan Crowther, author

The Alexander Technique helps both your body and your mind to work more efficiently. After a lesson with Noël, I think more clearly, communicate more effectively and generally feel calmer and more on top of things. I glide through the day both physically and metaphorically.

Karen Wheeler, Financial Times writer

As the result of an accident at age 5, I developed kyphosis by the age of eighteen and it grew progressively worse for 30 years. Having tried many different forms of treatment without success, I came across the Alexander Technique. After a course with Noel Kingsley I was able to look in a mirror and see my back straighter than I could ever remember. I now use the same methods to alleviate my back pain whenever it occurs.

Carol Ronchetti, Dallas, USA

I sailed through my pregnancy with barely a twinge- thanks to Noel's
work with me on the Alexander Technique over the last couple of years -
despite the fact that I had always had back problems in the past.

Mohini Chandra, artist

Some years ago I was diagnosed with a lung condition and my specialist suggested that the Alexander Technique might be of help to expand my lung capacity. I have been having one-to-one lessons and I can now breathe more deeply and my lung capacity has increased. It is the best thing I did. I now stand taller, my legs are stronger and I no longer feel hesitant in crossing roads or walking down stairs. I have a more positive attitude to life and feel calmer in dealing with situations.

Audrey Oliver

I have acquired a new, open posture that has given me new energy
flows, new attitude and new horizons I did not experience before...

Dr. Martin Rosenberg, management consultant, Sweden

I work in restoration but it took me a while to apply it to myself..... It's liberating to cast away bad postural habits and learn, even later in life, that its possible to grow and stand up for yourself in a relaxed and rejuvenating way. I have learned to stand tall again and move well both on dry land and in the water.... and to be free of pain. Good posture enhances life!

COLIN AMERY, B.A. Hons;FRIBA,
writer and architectural consultant and currently Director of the World Monuments Fund

During my second pregnancy I suffered from quite severe sciatica. Having had various treatments without success, I decided to visit NK. Within a few months the pain had completely subsided and I felt a new person. During my third pregnancy I regularly saw NK and the sciatica did not return and has not since.

Dr Caroline Fertleman, Specialist Registrar in Paediatrics, London

Noël really helped me while writing my book- crouched all day over my computer I was getting real shoulder pains and my posture was collapsed - the sessions with Noël were a life saver- I would open up and lengthen and widen to my full stature. Now I’m able to maintain it for myself.

Sahar Hashemi, entrepreneur

I became interested in learning about the Alexander Technique in order to improve posture with the final objective of reducing lower back and neck pain, but as I progressed through the classes I found the technique also useful in improving my overall level of awareness both physically and emotionally. Awareness is necessarily the very first step for change and improvement...

Delfin Rueda, Vice President, leading global investment bank

Dear Noël, I can’t thank you enough for getting rid of my backache. I had suffered for 3 years and had tried many treatments with various specialists and didn’t know where to turn next. After starting lessons with you the pain eased and in 3 months it had totally disappeared. I am now able to practice the Technique for myself and to avoid the problems recurring. It’s wonderful not to be in pain or to be taking pain killers.

Camilla Sargeaunt, London

Since having lessons with you, my mother has had no breathing problems and has gained hugely in confidence.

Stephanie Berke, France

The Technique has simply changed my life. After 8-12 sessions my backache had gone. I also feel a tremendous change psychologically, becoming calmer and calmer.

Jochen Radke, St Petersburg, Russia

As a result of your sessions I am now more relaxed, taller, and feel good with myself.
