About Tasha
MY STORY:- WHO AM I TO SAY? Tasha Bertram MRSoc I have 50 years experience of both yoga and dance, and as I continue to grow older I understand more and more the importance of letting the stress of life go. Scarred from an early age with humble beginnings, I suffered from insecurities and a lack of self-worth. Ballet became my sanctuary where I could escape and excel. I learnt how to use my body as a tool of expression. Exploring other creative avenues, I ventured into becoming an actor and singer, I learnt how to use my voice also to vent my woes through my lyrics. In my need to find fulfilment, I embarked on a journey of exploration, which eventually led me to confront my past and embrace forgiveness and judgment on a ten-day Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. As menopausal difficulties became apparent I learnt the further importance of yoga and breath work and began to find my sharing with others. Teaching balletic yoga, movement and breath soon became my passion where I was able to share my findings with others, and provide a non-judgmental approach to learning. To enhance my learning I completed a twelve-week course of Eckart Tolle teachings, fostering presence and acceptance. A transformative experience in India followed and a renewed focus on self-care through Ayurvedic practices further shaped my path. I have learnt ways to release pent-up emotion and fears, and to embrace self-love and authenticity as an ultimate path to fulfilment. It is my desire that I share all that I have found. I embrace teaching as a means of imparting wisdom and inspiring others while combining my knowledge through the Bertram Method of healing and oneness. Credentials: I trained from the age of ten in classical ballet and danced as principal soloist with London City Ballet for nine years and have been teaching since 2006. I am an examiner with the Russian Ballet Society. I have been a Yoga practitioner for over fifty years and I teach body awareness as part of my passion for women's health and well-being. The benefits of this combination are incorporated into my teaching for strengthening and awakening the body to align it with the inner essence of each person. This leads to a deeper joy and freedom of movement that allows ailments to dislodge and a new posture/personality to emerge. Throughout my contributions to the arts, my first love of ballet has remained firm. Since becoming a teacher, my knowledge has deepened and my ability to share my wisdom has developed and strengthened. I am dedicated to the art of being a great teacher from which my own learning as a human being has grown. I teach from the heart bearing my love and passion for each and every person I come in contact.

Six Steps to Loving Your Body and Nursing it Gracefully into the Beauty of Age. My methodology blends Balletic Movement with Yogic Stretches and teaches the individual how to move the Breath into the body in order to feel amazing. I will take you through six natural steps for a morning practice that can become the highlight of your every day. You will learn how to listen to your body and work with it so that you can develop a practice that makes you feel good about yourself and in control of your future. I teach according to the requirements of the individual, and as all of us have different needs, it is important to understand what these are. In the first lesson I will provide a questionnaire that allows us both to get a clearer understanding of what it is you are looking for and how you feel you can benefit from our sessions together. From this information I can learn about your needs and together we can design a goal. You have your own unique quality and your own perceptions about yourself. Your body is your own frame that holds all this information, so as you learn how to expand and lengthen, you learn also how to access emotions, and this can be very informative and healing. As your physical form gradually starts to respond, your natural essence of health and beauty can be free to flow. This work begins on the inside, so naturally the mind will quieten allowing your awareness to expand and connect to the part of you that sings. When you sing inside, you glow outside and your body can breathe and heal. I invite you to come and practise the art of release with me and experience the joy of freedom.

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.
