Our upcoming 7 week online intensive AT science workshop starts March 31st, 2022 and spots fill up quickly. Teachers, teachers in training, and enthusiastic students of all backgrounds are all welcome.

Dear Alexander technique teachers and students,

It's hard to explain the remarkable changes that Alexander technique can bring about. It has something to do with posture, but the common description of posture doesn’t give much sense of the profound experiences of calm, ease of movement, and presence that accompany shifts in muscle tension and alignment. And yet we want to spread the word, both to friends and colleagues as well as to doctors, physical therapists, and scientists.

For the last 7 years now, Dr. Tim Cacciatore and I have offered workshops that address this problem. Drawing on recent neuroscience, psychology, and biomechanics, we provide an accessible but rigorous framework that anyone, from potential students to professional scientists, can understand. This framework has also helped participants clarify and even improve their own learning and teaching practice.

This intensive workshop series emphasizes:
1) extensive reference to peer reviewed research, especially research directly on AT practice.
2) translating this work into useful principles that can be applied to teaching and learning.
3) an open, inclusive communicative approach - we challenge all participants to communicate their own experiences in accessible, common sense language.

Our workshop structure maximizes dynamic learning and engagement. Each week you will have access to lecture videos, articles, and written assignments as preparation for the weekly live webinar session. The webinar session itself combines live Q&A, in depth discussion, games, and breakout groups.

We hope you will join us for this unique experience.

Thank you,

Dear Alexander Technique Teachers and Students

Our upcoming 7 week intensive AT science workshop starts Sept. 2nd 2021 and spots fill up quickly. Teachers, teachers in training, and enthusiastic students of AT are all welcome.

About the workshop:
Many of us have a deep relationship with the remarkable changes that Alexander technique can bring about. Some of us are highly skilled in bringing about these changes in ourselves and others. Despite this, we have a hard time explaining what we do physiologically, and may resort to outdated science. This is a problem, both for understanding our own practice at a fundamental level and for spreading the word about this wonderful work.

For the last 6 years now, Dr. Tim Cacciatore and I have offered intensive workshops that address this problem. Drawing on recent neuroscience, psychology, and biomechanics, we provide a rigorous framework that doctors, physical therapists, and interested students can understand. This framework has also helped participants clarify and even improve their own learning and teaching practice.

This series emphasizes:
1) extensive reference to peer reviewed research, especially research directly on AT practice.
2) translating this work into useful principles that can be applied to teaching and learning.
3) an open, inclusive communicative approach - we challenge all participants to communicate their own experiences in accessible, common sense language.
The workshop structure is aimed at dynamic learning and engagement. Each week you will have access to lecture videos, articles, and written assignments as preparation for the weekly live webinar session. The webinar session itself combines live Q&A, in depth discussion, games, and breakout groups.
