The Notting Hill Alexander Technique Studio is run by Jaana Nykänen
and Henrik Jönsson who have completed a three year training under Shoshana
Kaminitz at the Victoria Training Course for the Alexander Technique, the sucessor of the training course
started by Patrick Macdonald in the 1950's - as well as having spent 1,5 years at a Training Course in Copenhagen, Denmark. They are also frequent visiting teachers at the
Victoria training course and are both certified teaching members of the Sociiety of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT).
Jaana Nykänen, mSTAT, is trained in lingustics and conflict management and has a long-standing interest in the study of nutrition and the functioning of the human organism. Jaana has been involved in projects concerning the study of expressions and rights online, and the relationships people form through communication. She is now exploring communication through the Alexander Technique and it's value in relation to human perception and understanding.
Henrik Jönsson, mSTAT, is trained in visual arts, communication and teaches design at the Thames Valley University. He has been working professionally with art, illustration, CG supervision and the study of movement in animation since the early nineties. Henrik now studies the Alexander Technique, and combines his professional design-oriented commissions with exploring how the Alexander Technique can be used in the workplace and team-building circumstances.
