We have one intensive weekend per month. We also have a residential in France every summer.
The training leads to qualification by, and membership of, Alexander Technique International. Qualification is qualitative, rather than quantitative, so everyone qualifies when they are ready, not after a set number of hours.
Flexible and affordable
We are more flexible and affordable than ‘traditional’ training schools. Our trainees choose whatever hours they want to do, and pay only for those hours. We encourage anyone who wants a teaching certificate to come for all the hours, but some trainees who live out of London only come for the weekends. We currently have a couple of trainees who fly in from Europe for the training weekends.
Some of our trainees don’t want a teaching certificate and come just for the transformational benefits of the Alexander work – sometimes for just a few hours per month.
When do we meet?
We have one ‘Intensive Weekend’ of eighteen hours every month. There are two Zoom classes on Tuesdays, and an in-person class on Wednesday evenings.
We are planning a residential event in France in June next year, and another in northern Italy in September.
The dates of the Intensive Weekends for 2025/6 are
- January 9/10/11th
- February 13/14/15th
- March 13/14/15th
- April 10/11/12th
