Teacher Training

Teaching the Alexander Technique is a career built on helping people – and on continuing to develop yourself. Many people who train come to it because the technique changed something significant for them, and they want to be able to offer that to others.

The training is run through the School for F.M. Alexander Studies, where Jenny teaches alongside David Moore and a program of visiting teachers from Australia and overseas. It is a small, intensive course, which means trainees get genuine individual attention rather than disappearing into a cohort.

What the training involves

The course runs flexibly, typically over three years, two mornings a week, with additional workshops and a residential component. It leads to an internationally recognised qualification as an Alexander Technique teacher, accredited by the Australian Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (AUSTAT).

The focus throughout is practical. Trainees develop their own use of the technique first, then gradually learn to work with others. By the final year, trainees are teaching real clients in a supervised setting.

Who trains

People come to the course from a wide range of backgrounds – performers, health professionals, teachers, yoga instructors, personal trainers, and people who simply found the technique transformative and want to share it. What they have in common is a serious interest in the work and in their own continuing development.

Coming along before you commit

Prospective trainees are welcome to come along and experience the training before committing to the course. It is a practical way to find out if the training environment and approach are right for you.
