All teachers associated with the Nevlat are required to complete a 3-year training course. Noortje also organizes refresher courses for Nevlat members. Also a professional musician, Noortje Köhne graduated in 1997 as a violist from the Sweelink Conservatorium in Amsterdam.

 Noortje Köhne “In 1998, while living in Tel Aviv, I had an accident that left me with a broken leg. On the road to recovery, I came upon a man called Sheik Hermelin, an Alexander teacher. Within a few lessons I got my mobility back, and more. My every move became lighter and more direct. Flexibility came into play. I began to understand how to help myself and not get in my own way. It became reason for my present path. I love the open and practical approach. That is what the technique is all about.” |
