Short Courses

One Year Foundation Course - Skills for Life

The one year  course is for students who wish to deepen their personal experience of the Alexander Technique, learn skills to manage a painful or limiting condition, or apply good use to playing, singing or acting. You will learn:

• Improved use of your body and how to increase your awareness. This leads to better posture, freedom of movement and breathing
• Calmness and self-awareness for personal benefit as well as enhancing professional communication skills
• Procedures to help avoid and manage back pain, stress, RSI and recovery from illness.

Dates:  All short course dates are the same as the training course dates on the home page.

Taster Courses (1 - 5 weeks)

We offer a variety of intensive taster courses to suit your needs. You can study with us for any length of time from one week up to five weeks. Cost  £250 per training week. If you book a block of 5 weeks the 5th week is free. These courses  deepen your experience of the Alexander Technique for:

• Self-help for managing back pain, neck or shoulder pain
• Self-help for managing stress and anxiety
• Management tools for enhancing wellbeing
• Want to ‘test the water’ to see if teacher training is for you. If you take a 5 week taster and decide to continue into training, your 5 weeks can count towards your training providing you continue straight away. It’s a great way to feel the pace of the course, experience the learning and the environment and to accustom yourself to a different view of life!
