London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2010 -- “It really does work … Many ailing pianists have been helped with this unorthodox and unusual method … All teachers should try it”
Piano Professional Magazine, Autumn 2010

Russian pianist and educator GéNIA, will highlight the foundation of the Piano-Yoga® method and demonstrate exercises from her Piano-Yoga® book: "Transform your hands: A complete ten week course of piano exercises”. This multi-dimensional method combines the fundamentals of Russian piano schools with eastern philosophies, particularly yoga. The aims are to focus your piano practice, improve concentration, build strength in the fingers and hands, establishing good posture, and conquer performance nerves.

“Transform Your Hands” is a comprehensive course which:

• Improves the quality of piano playing in just 10 weeks
• Increases flexibility and builds up strength in the muscles that work the fingers
• Provides an easy warm-up routine for beginners and professionals
• Focuses on a player’s well-being by being tailored to each individual body and mind
• Complements any style of tuition and playing
• Provides an efficient and economical way of generating long-term tuition
• Can be practiced on a digital piano as well as on an acoustic piano

“This is a book for a lifetime of healthy piano playing! … This book gets 5 stars from me!”
EPTA’s Piano Journal, No. 89, Winter 2009
