I teach swimming with the Alexander technique, a somatic practice that focuses on enhancing alignment and functional movement patterns. As applied to swimming, the Alexander technique identifies areas of tension release in order to amplify propulsive force, increase speed, distance and enjoyment through the glide. Classes include exercises on land and in the water, with hands-on touch offered to guide awareness of body placement and aid the release of neuromuscular tension. This is called The Shaw Method, for more information visit: https://www.artofswimming.com
Rosalind was formerly a competitive swimmer and qualified as a Shaw Method Swimming Instructor in 2014. She specialises in coaching for open-water swimming and has experience working with beginners, swimmers with injuries, people with a fear of water, and triathletes. Aside from swimming, Rosalind is a Somatic Movement Educator, Yoga Instructor, Dance Artist, and hands-on bodyworker, also trained in aquatic massage.
One-to-one Classes
Personalised teaching on a one-to-one basis for beginners, people with injuries or professional swimmers and triathletes.
Group Courses
Group classes provide an opportunity to focus on and improve a specific stroke. I give courses tailored to special groups such as competitive open water swimmers, those wanting to try cold water swimming and get clued up on health and safety, or for people wanting to refine breathwork or rotation.
