How To Learn:
PAAT Courses
PAAT currently offers a range of choices for learning the Alexander Technique in a group class situation.
Here is a summary of the available options.
Current & Forthcoming Courses
On our courses, we focus on how we, as human beings, do things not just what we do. As a course member, you get the chance to think differently about how you go about your activities. We look at how doing something with more effort than needed does not mean you do it better. For every physical action, there is a right amount of effort. Using more muscular activity than is actually needed to do the job both hurts you and wastes your energy.
Exploring The Alexander Technique – Feb-June 2026
“Presence without Effort: A practical technique for letting go of reactivity and finding ease and focus in each moment.”
Applications are now open for an opportunity to learn the within a group setting beginning in February 2026.
This course will be taught online, with a chance to work in person as well. Our course is an invitation both to those who are new to AT and those who are looking to deepen their experience and practice.
