Michael Stenning
Michael Stenning is a Canberra-based Alexander Technique teacher of nearly 40 years’ experience, who established the Canberra Alexander Teacher Training School in 2016.
Michael is a musician who used the Alexander Technique to rehabilitate himself and resume playing after his career as a trombonist was interrupted through the effects of tension and stress. Alongside training teachers and offering CPD, he maintains the private teaching practice which he established with his Alexander Technique teacher partner Léonie John, in 1985. Over the last 20 years, Michael has run CDP workshops for Alexander Teachers in Australia, Denmark, Argentina, Uruguay, the USA and the UK.
Michael has developed Alexander Technique programs for organizations to address the challenges faced by people in screen-based work, programs for musicians and programs for sportspeople. He maintains a keen interest both in music and in endurance sports. Michael is interested in the practice of performance of any kind, and has worked extensively with instrumentalists and singers.
He is a former Chair of Australian Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique.
