Resilience & Recovery
The ATTS has deepened its psychophysical curriculum. Over the past 10 years, we have introduced a strong trauma-informed and emotionally literate component into our core trainings.
Our new programmes will offer you the opportunity to explore your health, your inner life and your relationship to the world. We are offering a dedicated 11-week self-development and personal growth course.
Embodied Mindfulness
The Foundation Immersion Course:

- Are you looking to explore and enrich your life and relationships?
- Are you looking to recover and heal from stress or trauma?
- Are you an artist, musician or performer and would like to apply the Alexander work to further your skills?
This is a fully immersive personal development and professional short course. If you would like, it is recognised as a full-term credit towards a 3-year qualification.
