About Tasha
Who am I and why do I want to teach? In my eight year vocational training in classical ballet, every morning at 7am we had half an hour yoga practice before breakfast. This was from the age of ten until I left the school at eighteen. It was a practice that took you through every part of the body. Every joint, ligament, tendon and limb was gently awakened in preparation for the day's work that lay ahead. As a professional dancer my focus was purely on ballet and dance, but once I retired from ballet I needed to continue to support my body and so my deeper studies of yoga began. I started out with the Sivananda School of Yoga in Putney and from there my own daily practice naturally developed moving through classical yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga and Yin. My interest in yoga continued to flourish as I grew older and my practice supported me throughout my ballet teaching years right up to where I am now. During these years I have discovered many benefits to combining yoga and dance that keep the body toned, flexible, strong and healthy. Now I move into 'the mature woman' stage of life, and with it I offer a practice of elegance and grace through the combination of yoga and ballet, moving the body with the energy of the breath. I have been teaching dancers and non dancers how to move since 2006.

Over the many years of practice as a professional ballet dancer and yoga practitioner, I have discovered more and more benefits to combining dance/ballet with yoga. I like to use the power of yoga asanas with the breath to release and open up areas of the body that may have become restricted, tired or injured from the ongoing requirements ballet demands. This becomes even more apparent as you grow older and your body requires additional attention to the way in which you work it. Before I start any body work with a new student, we will go through a series of questions in order to acquire a full and detailed understanding of where you are at with your body and in your stage of life in general. This way we can work together to get the best results for your needs. Generally we begin with stillness; usually lying out flat on your back and connecting to the very essence of your body and your own internal energy. In this way the mind can work safely with the body as it listens and learns where assistance is needed. So often a trained dancer wants to push the body beyond limits to achieve desires and I like to find the deeper place within, that can nurture and heal areas of stress, that could otherwise be ignored. This approach can naturally have a positive effect on your mind, enabling you to feel more connected, calmer and in control of how you move and carry yourself through life in and out of the studio. An hour lesson is usually enough time to address the entire body leaving you feeling relaxed, open, nurtured and yet still nicely worked. An hour and a half is another option to include a wind down to full relaxation, allowing your body to absorb and assimilate all you have given it. Finishing with a delicious moment of gratification.

Tasha Bertram brings her unique talents to her work and has found an ability to use all her training in the arts to heal and teach with compassion and wisdom. I was struck with an emotional trauma a few years back and asked for her guidance. Within the first session of breathwork and movement Tasha had managed to guide me out of my panic and into a sense of renewed calm. The tension dropped away and I was able to move back into strength, purpose and self assurance, complete with energy and focus.
I highly recommend Tasha's unique and all encompassing approach to anyone she tutors.Tasha is a wonderful, charismatic and experienced teacher. She is very creative and passionate and not only works on technique but also the emotion and portrayal of the choreography and performance. She is kind and inspiring to work with and a true artist, who I am certain will enhance you technique and emotion as a dancer!
I have had Tasha as a personal tutor for many years - ordinarily this would be in person but for the last few months, the sessions have been online. Tasha is an excellent teacher, incredibly patient and encouraging, despite me having no natural knack..! She makes every lesson interesting and adapts to how I am feeling and my particular needs that week, drawing on a variety of techniques and her immense knowledge. I have found her invaluable in helping me understand my body more and getting it move in ways I would not have thought possible. I always end my sessions with her feeling very positive and energised. So for dancers looking to improve their technique, to those that want to improve their fitness or become more confident in understanding their body, I would absolutely recommend Tasha!
Tasha is a wonderful teacher, whose passion and dedication to dance, emits through her teaching with such thorough and detailed feedback. Her positivity, drive and focus to the arts, is what makes Tasha one of a kind, and a highly valuable member in the industry. It is such a pleasure to have Tasha teach at The London Ballet Company.
