About Sophie Till’s Work

The Taubman/Golandsky Approach is a body of knowledge that provides the conceptual and physical knowledge of the mostly invisible world of co-ordinate motion that underlies a natural technique. Furthermore, as a result of the highly developed pedagogy this wealth of information is accessible to all players regardless of age or level. The approach is well known for solving playing-related injuries, providing players with virtuosity and solving playing limitations.

Tailor-make your week…

You can make the week anything you want, from complete, intensive immersion, to a combination of work and enjoying the NY Finger Lakes region. There are many different accommodation options; sharing a summer rental house, Airbnb, local host families and even camping in the yard! Sophie is happy to help you organize your accommodation.
