Anthony Kingsley has been training Teachers since 1987 when he assisted Misha Magidov on his training course until 2003. In 2004, Anthony opened the Alexander Teacher Training School.
In 2000, he qualified as a psychotherapist. This specialisation has deepened his understanding of the mind-body link in the Alexander Technique.
Anthony provides ongoing training for Alexander Technique teachers who wish to enhance their professional skills. He gives workshops and seminars on the technique to the general public in the United Kingdom and abroad.
He has envisioned a powerful trauma-informed approach to the Alexander Technique. Anthony integrates recent advances in neuroscience, neurobiology, somatic therapy into his practice. Of particularly note are the contributions of Steven Porges on the Polyvagal Theory, Gabor Mate on Compassionate Enquiry, and Bessel Van de Kok on healing from trauma.
Anthony was honoured to have written the introduction to Alexander’s republished (2018) classic text The Use of the Self, (1932).

John Crawford BA MSTAT
John Crawford graduated from the Royal College of music and worked for many years as a professional violinist, including ten years with the BBC symphony orchestra.
An increasing interest in problems of co-ordination experienced by many musicians led him to train as an A.T. teacher with Ellie and Peter Ribeaux. Since graduating from there he has combined a performing career with an extensive teaching practice. He is on the staff at Trinity College of music, the Purcell school, and the Royal College junior department, and was for many years an assistant at the Ribeaux’s school.
Carlos recently finished his course as an Alexander trainer. He was introduced to the work 15 years ago when he undertook a drama course and performance arts workshops related to voice and presentation skills. He has been working in the family business for almost ten years and realised the importance of the Alexander Technique as a vehicle to control stress, anxiety and well-being in decision making.
Over the last year, he introduced the Alexander Technique to a drama school in Portugal – Escola Superior Artística do Porto. He is keen in teaching people from all walks of life.
