Group Teaching Lab & Group Teaching Seminar

Offering seminars, workshops and one-to-one mentoring, Belinda is excited to share her working process. Alexander Technique Teachers and Teacher-trainees are welcome to attend.
LIVELY & EMBODIED LEARNING
Teaching the Alexander Technique in Groups
Why do I believe that teaching Alexander Technique in a group format is so important for AT teachers?
- The challenge to be clear and practical.
- The introduction of AT through a sense of self-responsibility and awaked curiosity,
- The acceleration of learning and the depth of learning is fostered through partnering and group experiences.
Build your skills and confidence in teaching AT in groups. It's fun, it's effective and can expand your career options. Seminar content will include clear guide-posts, examples of curricula to support you in building your own style of teaching. Experience new activities for group and partner learning in Lab meetings.
