  • Our History

    The Bristol Alexander School was founded in 1988 by Diana Mason with just a few students. She was assisted by Paul Collins, who took over in 1990. At this time, the school was turned into an Association and became known as the Bristol Alexander Technique Training School Association (BATTSA), giving trainees more input into how the School was run.

    Ali Burrows became Head of Training in 1994 and continued to develop BATTSA over the next 13 years until her untimely death in April 2007.

    Caroline Chalk took up the running of the School in 2007. In 2012 the name was changed to the Bristol Alexander School.

Jane Julier (MSTAT) writes:

“By the time I’d graduated, I felt ready to teach the Alexander Technique with confidence and to teach it well. The training at the School is very well structured and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The quality of the teaching was exemplary and I enjoyed every minute of my training, even when it was a challenge! I would highly recommend this course.”

Amanda Shearman (MSTAT) writes:

“The exceptional training I experienced during my three years at the Bristol Alexander School enabled me to set up a successful teaching practice in Glasgow when I graduated in 2011. The course is varied, challenging, stimulating, and I will say in no uncertain terms, positively life changing.”
