Some people learn the Alexander Technique principles best by applying them directly to an activity. With this understanding, the Balance Arts Center is pleased to offer Certificate of Study programs. These programs focus on the principles of the Technique and how they directly relate to specific activities and specifically targeted populations. The Certificate of Study Programs are open and applicable to students at any level of experience, from the beginner to the certified Alexander Technique teacher.
Each Certificate of Study program provides students with tools to delve deeper into the concepts of the Alexander Technique, through the lens of a particular context. Participation in a Certificate of Study program enhances one’s ability to apply the principles of the Alexander Technique personally, and also to teach others to do so. Programs include a study of the Alexander Technique concepts, observation skills, vocabulary, and direct application to the task at hand.
Students who receive Certificates of Study are not qualified to call themselves teachers of the Alexander Technique or give hands-on instruction. That certification is earned when students have completed a 1600 hour AmSAT Certified Teacher Training Course.
