The Alexander Training Center – Austin offers a 3-year training course. Applications are being accepted for enrollment on a rolling basis.

Trainees will complete 1600 hours of apprenticeship-style training and will be eligible for certification by the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT).

Each trainee will get a lot of hands-on work and personal attention, with one instructor per five trainees.

The Alexander Training Center – Austin is the only AmSAT-approved Alexander Technique Teacher Training Course in Texas.

For the first year, training will mirror having intensive Alexander lessons for yourself. This will allow you to apply the principles and changes in yourself to your life. You will improve how you move, you will develop ease in your actions, and you will be able to address tensions and pain that might interfere with your life or other activities.

The second year you will learn skills to teach the Alexander technique, such as how to use your hands in a gentle, directive manner to convey better ease, posture, and coordination to your students.

The third year you will learn to convey these principles and ideas to your students with your words and through different proceedures and activities.

There will also be in class discussions of Alexander’s books, anatomy, and science.

There are few other professions that allow you to help others and improve yourself at the same time.

You can make people’s lives better as you teach them to overcome pain and have greater control over their activities.

When you graduate, you’ll be able to start your own private practice, offering a valuable service through a business model that allows you to be your own boss, set your own schedule, and balance your work with other aspects of your life in a sustainable manner.

Many Alexander teachers also integrate the Alexander Technique into other work: e.g., performers; music, dance, acting, or yoga teachers; coaches and personal trainers; and mental health or bodywork practitioners.
