ATTS
Welcome to ATTS
The Alexander Teacher Training School
“Healing Through Meeting”
At the very core of the ATTS is a conviction that healing of mind-body distress comes through the relationship and collaboration between Teacher and Pupil.
-
The ATTS provides opportunities not only to achieve postural ease but also to heal from past trauma and pain.
-
The ATTS training leads to full certification in Teaching the Alexander Technique in a holistic and inspiring way.
-
The ATTS offers Post-Graduate Training, Foundation Terms and Short Courses in Trauma-informed Alexander Technique.
We have come a long way since Alexander’s first Training course in 1931. It was indeed a revolutionary course that was ahead of its time. The ATTS is thoroughly grounded in this classical approach. However, we have witnessed huge advances in our understanding of the human condition. Research in neuroscience, neurobiology, somatic psychotherapies, and explorations in trauma, addiction and stress have widened our understanding of the potential of the Alexander process. Today, Alexander Training needs to adapt and embrace this new world.
The ATTS has a dedicated programme of Training that can truly be termed, “Trauma-Informed”.
The ATTS offers a traditional 3-year, Internationally recognised Teacher Training in the Alexander Technique in our London school. Anthony Kingsley, the director of the ATTS, has been training students to become certified Alexander Teachers for over 30 years in London and abroad.
The ATTS welcomes students to participate in a Post-Graduate Term or more in order to develop the personal and professional skills to work with a Trauma-informed model of the Alexander Technique.
Students may enrol on a special human potential program. This short course is for individuals who wish to immerse themselves into a healing journey, embrace well-being, increase self-knowledge, develop capacities for calmness, manage stress and embody a more vital engagement with life and relationships.

Anthony also offers individual Alexander Technique sessions and psychotherapy, at the renowned Alexander Studio in the same building.
You are welcome to contact us for our self-development short courses, Alexander Training Foundation Term, our classic Alexander Training or simply to find out more about the Technique and its benefits.
The ATTS is located in a superb dedicated venue in North London. We have sole use of a stunning 100 m Studio space with high ceilings and a full-height glass panel onto our private garden and patio area. We have our own kitchen facilities, private work space and audio-visual facilities.
Our bright and vibrant school is London’s centre for excellence in Alexander Technique Teacher Training.
The Course combines a unique fusion of personal development and vocational training in an inspiring professional space. Students can choose to spend a Foundation Term or even a Foundation Year at the ATTS in order to deepen the therapeutic benefits of Alexander Lessons. And other students may wish to spend a full three years at the school for personal development without the ambition to work as an Alexander Teacher.
The ATTS is under the Direction of Anthony Kingsley who has been training Alexander Teachers for over 30 years. He is also a qualified psychotherapist. His unique style and psychological insight contribute towards making the ATTS probably the most inviting and exciting Alexander Training in the world. He is passionate about working with and supervising the new generation of Alexander Teachers. He travels internationally to work and inspires not solely Alexander Teachers but also a much wider audience in the field of personal growth.
Anthony was honoured to have written the introduction to Alexander’s republished (2018) classic text The Use of the Self, (1932). Readers will discover an exciting and unique new perspective on the Alexander Technique. Buy it here on Amazon.

FM Alexander began training teachers in 1931. At the ATTS we remain committed to Alexander’s original principles, vision and methods of training.
Our Teacher Trainers have worked closely with, and learnt from, the first generation of Teachers to be trained by Alexander himself, including Dr Wilfred Barlow, Majorie Barlow, Patrick Macdonald, Walter Carrington and Miss Goldie. These teachers each contributed their own unique and profound understanding of the Technique and of training. Our students benefit from this rich and diverse Alexander legacy.
The ATTS Trainers represent some of the most experienced teachers in their respective fields, from Drama and Performance to Music and Medicine. We also have a diverse and creative team of visiting Trainers who offer their expertise in a variety of Alexander specialities.

The school offers a unique Foundation Course in the Alexander Technique. This is usually of a term’s duration but can be extended to two terms for the Foundation Skills Module. Because Alexander Training can not be separated from personal development, the Foundation Courses provide an opportunity for intense engagement with the Technique and a more powerful Alexander process than is traditionally offered by individual Alexander lessons alone.
Post-graduate Training is also available at the ATTS. Graduates from this school or other Training schools are invited to develop and enhance their skills to a higher level.
We welcome International Students into the ATTS programme. Students are now able to study with us for 6-month periods. The ATTS accepts Students from overseas for these short courses of up to 2 terms duration. These modules can accumulate towards a full qualification over 4 and a half years study period. For more information, please explore the page for International Students.
Visits to the school during Training time are very much welcomed, and visitors will be able to participate and receive individual work from the Trainers and students.
