Welcome to BATTSA . We are a STAT-approved Alexander Technique training school in Bristol, offering a 3 year teacher training course.

We welcome visitors and people thinking of training to be teachers. Anyone who would like to have more experience of learning and putting the Alexander Technique into practice in their daily lives is also welcome.

Students in their third year of training give supervised Alexander lessons to members of the public for a reduced rate. Are you interested in lessons from one of our trainees? If you would like to visit the school or would like to have lessons with a student please contact Caroline Chalk.
