The Art of Wearing High Heels
New book By Chyna - High Heel Guru
Due to prolonged wearing of Glamour high heels during her musical career, Chyna suffered a debilitating back injury, which inspired her in 1999 to study the Alexander technique. Vocals and beauty aside, it is her contribution to this field to which makes her most dynamic performance.
Refusing to give up her 'tall' shoe addiction, Chyna created the renowned phenomenon 'Mastering the Art of Wearing High Heels - 10 top tips';the first ever of its kind, teaching correct posture and balance to today's Jimmy Choo generation.
In her book, inspired by her diverse rock and roll background, Chyna injects refreshing electricity into classical Alexander technique.
A Note from Chyna
"Having decided on the shoes and outfit, naturally through sheer excitement, you have to have a dress rehearsal - a parade around the bedroom, modelling, striking a pose, picking up the hairbrush and singing into it, 'I'm every woman, it's all in me' sounding just like Whitney Houston. Swoosh, there goes the feather boa around the neck, Shirley Bassey style, 'I can feel the pulse right now' (you don't care if you know the lyrics or not) you're singing at the top of your voice.
Suddenly there's a grinding halt, a bit like when a needle gets scratched off a record, the balls of your feet are already beginning to hurt in those had-to-have heels, and are now posing a threat to your ability to remain upright with any grace and style. Alarm bells begin to ring. The thoughts of: 'will I make it to the car without breaking my neck?' or 'how on earth am I going to survive the night in these, let alone dance?' become foremost in your mind and all of a sudden, this long-awaited, special occasion begins to look like a nightmare because you CAN'T WALK IN HEELS. Does this sound familiar?"

Quotations
Chyna's classes are as much about 'go-girl' confidence boosting as it is about not falling flat on your face.
FT weekend Magazine-Nicola Copping
An added bonus is that Chyna taught me how to use my new posture to walk well in high heels, which with the new perilous platforms on the high street and my own fear of anything higher than a Nike high- top.
EVENING STANDARD- Connie Allfrey
Chyna, who teaches the Alexander Technique, has perfected a way of wearing high heels and maintaining decent posture, which not only makes you look great but is good for the back, spine and general well being.
TELEGRAPH- Alice-Hart Davies
It is also, I must confess, lovely to walk across a room 20 times and each time to be told: "beautiful, great, beautiful". Afterwards I strode through Regents Park head high walking tall, swinging my very slightly at the hips as shown feeling rather pleased with everything.
FINACIAL TIMES- Susie Boyt
I so loved this book. It's brilliant and if the technique helps to make me walk tall, feel even sexier, party hard, without pain in all my 100 high heel shoes, then it's a masterpiece. I am definitely going to book a workshop.
