I often have questions from current Alexander Technique students about referring the technique to their friends and family, and how to find a teacher in another area. There is a worldwide Alexander Technique teacher training standard of qualification with national Alexander Technique associations in many countries. Here in Canada the website is AlexanderTechniqueCanada.ca, where there is a lot of information about the technique and our professional standards. There is also a national teacher directory by area where you can search for other A.T. teachers.

Here in Nanaimo, there are 2 certified teachers of the Alexander Technique, myself, Heather Walker, and another teacher named Heike Walker (same last name just for confusion!). We are colleagues and highly recommend each other’s private teaching, group classes and workshops. Heike occasionally teaches introductory workshops for the City of Nanaimo, and the next workshop of hers will be on two Mondays, May 5 & 12, from 3:30-5 PM. This workshop is called “Reduce Stress & Pain with the Alexander Technique.” For more information, contact the City of Nanaimo at recreation.nanaimo.ca or call 250-755-7501.
