Two STAT Council members, Samia Cunningham and Michelle Lambert, are currently working alongside STAT Student Members to help reinvigorate the Student Network, to find new network co-ordinators and student reps from each training course.
Through regular meetings we introduce students to the diverse approaches of the Alexander Technique, and create a supportive environment for students to learn and grow through the wider STAT community.
If you are a student and would like more information, we would love to hear from you. Please email studentnetwork@alexandertechnique.co.uk

Title: "The Ready List”; TRL is a simple way to introduce the ideas and a framework for thinking about Inhibition, Direction and the Primary Control.
About:
In this session there will be an emphasis on sharing and discussing how we might use this approach of TRL, as an introduction to the work, particularly for working with performers. We shall consider how useful it can to be to have a simple approach, helping integrate the work in the context of wholeness and the growth mindset. There will information and practical experiential work with ideas to take away to experiment with. There will be time for questions.

Date: Sunday 18th October 2026, 11am to 12.15pm with Julia Woodman
Title: Why would an Alexander teacher want to know something about research?
As Alexander teachers we don’t need a detailed understanding of the research that has been done on the Alexander Technique – we just need enough awareness about it to know what claims we can make on our websites and other marketing materials, as well as to be confident when talking with our clients.
In one sense, we can all be researchers, when it comes to our own development. As trainees and teachers, we’re learning to observe and reflect on how we develop our own Alexander understanding and skills – this is what you might call ‘personal research’.
This session will begin with a brief overview of key Alexander research and we then have time for discussion to explore what these findings might mean for us, and to share ideas about personal research.
Details of all Workshops are emailed to registered STAT Students prior to the date of the event.
