About Alain

My name is Alain Zakeossian. I’m a Rolfer certified by the European Rolfing Association in Munich and The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in the United States. 

I practice Rolfing in London with locations in Mayfair and Chiswick.

I specialise in postural alignment, structural integration, fascia release, injury prevention and chronic tensions. Through Rolfing I promote comfortable posture and ease of movement.

I’m also a qualified Bodymaster practitioner of therapy techniques designed to ease pain and restore mobility.

The basis of my work is that the body needs to lengthen and be balanced. Because a balanced body gives rise to a better experience and quality of life.

In addition, I’m a Deep Tissue Myofascial massage therapist and a certified teacher of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic form of yoga which requires precise alignment. I trained extensively with Ashtanga yoga teachers John Scott and Ty Landrum in Colorado. I focus my teaching and own practice on safe comfortable alignment and fluidity of movement.

My Rolfing and Yoga practices find their common focus in a passion for the study of movement in all aspects. These include biomechanics, techniques, perceptions and psychology, all the way to the aesthetic of human expression.

In my experience people who understand and respect their body tend to be more resilient. As a result they respond better to the stresses of life.

My objective as a Rolfer and Yoga teacher is to help people become more attuned to their body. Above all, I would like more people to enjoy the benefits of having a better posture and to discover their full potential in movement.

I’m a calm and considerate therapist. I believe that I possess the knowledge, sensitivity and skills necessary to respond to the needs of each individual.
