Linda Henderson and Brenda McAuliffe set up the Blackheath Holistic Health Service together in 1991. Their careers have followed almost identical paths.

They are qualified and experienced Counsellors, Alexander Technique Teachers as well as trained Iyengar Yoga Teachers. They began practising Yoga in 1970 under the tutorship of leading Iyengar Teachers. They both discovered the Alexander Technique during their Iyengar teacher training course and saw the profound implication its teaching could have on the discipline of Yoga. This led them to complete a 3 year full time training course in the Alexander Technique. In 1987 they qualified and they began to integrate the two disciplines to create Postural Yoga.

They are experienced integrative counsellors centred in Jungian psychology and dreamwork and follow an authentic psychological and spiritual path. They have practiced Dhyana Meditation for many years. In their holistic approach to the Alexander Technique and Postural Yoga they respect and teach the person as a unique being with individual needs.

As the founder partners of Blackheath Holistic Health Service they have both taught Postural Yoga for Adult Education Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley. They have taught in a diversity of mediums and places: Yoga on GMTV health programmes, the Alexander Technique at Clare College, Cambridge and also given lectures and demonstrations on the Alexander Technique to leading London teaching hospitals and health clinics. They are currently teaching Postural Yoga at the CHC, Friends Meeting House, Mycenae House, and Shrewsbury House. Brenda is teaching the Alexander Technique at the Complementary Health Centre.

Linda has run Postural Yoga holidays abroad for her own company Blackheath Holistic Health Service and also for private holiday companies. Linda, more recently has begun teaching children Postural Yoga in local private schools: Blackheath High and Blackheath Nursery and Preparatory.

Brenda has focussed more on teaching the Alexander Technique privately and at the CHC. Linda and Brenda are currently engaged on editing and producing a book on Postural Yoga, which should be published at the end of 2008.
