All our efforts in the way of education should be to create conditions in which growth will continue throughout life.

F. M. Alexander

   

The Alexander Technique Connection New England is a consortium of twenty highly skilled, dedicated Alexander teachers. We are joining together to promote awareness of the Alexander Technique and better serve the public. We offer private lessons and group classes, a teacher training program, post-graduate courses, and a faculty development program. We also provide professional support for teachers.

The Connection traces its origins to 1987, when Missy Vineyard founded the Northampton School of Alexander Studies for training teachers of the Alexander Technique. In 1993 the school moved to 94 Lessey Street in Amherst. Today, nineteen years after its inception and the certification of more than twenty-five teachers, it has expanded to become the Alexander Technique Connection New England.

This is an exciting development for teachers and the public as we develop creative new ways to offer the Alexander Technique to people of all ages, interests, backgrounds, and levels of experience. 

If youâve never experienced an Alexander lesson, we suggest you begin by clicking on About the Alexander Technique and ATCNE Teachers. Then click on Learning-for-Living to find out more about lecture demonstrations, introductory workshops, classes, private lessons, and residential courses offered by ATCNE teachers.  If youâre already an experienced student looking for more information, we recommend that you also click on Articles by ATCNE teachers for a more in-depth discussion of the technique.  If youâre interested in becoming a teacher, click on the Teacher Training Course.  And if youâre already an Alexander teacher, click on Post-Graduate Study and Faculty Training Program to learn more about our exciting continuing education programs to deepen your skills and advance your practice.

The Alexander lessons I had deepened my knowledge of how my body is put together, how I interface with it and how I can engage it most comfortably and wisely.  Iâve made exciting discoveries about seemingly simple but profoundly significant ways that I can shift my way of moving to create more spaciousness and ease.
