The Centre for the Alexander Technique is a small centre offering:

         

1. ✤  Lessons in the Alexander Technique
   

2. ✤  An Alexander Technique Teacher Training Course
   

3. ✤  A service for the business and the professions, Ribeaux Consulting
   

By remaining small we are able to maintain sound principles, uniformity and consistency of teaching and a standard of excellence without frills. We are members of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique, www.stat.org.uk, and our teacher training course is recognised by STAT.

 

Who are we?

We were taught by Patrick Macdonald, one of FM Alexander’s successors, and are the longest established Alexander Technique teacher trainers in the UK.  We opened our course in September 1984.   Since then we have graduated some seventy teachers and they work in many establishments including multinational corporations as well as drama and music colleges.  The Centre is situated in our house in Fulham near the River Thames in south-west London. 

Ellie Ribeaux has been teaching the Alexander Technique for over 40 years.  Formerly a biology teacher, she has taught and given workshops in the Technique to people from many walks of life in a number of different countries including Denmark, Germany and Israel.

Peter Ribeaux has been an Alexander teacher for over 40 years.   He has given workshops in Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Switzerland and the USA and has taught the Alexander Technique in a number of different settings ranging from the  performance arts to the aerospace industry. Formerly a university lecturer in organisational psychology, he has also been a council member of STAT and is currently co-chair of the moderators panel of STAT. 

In addition, a number of other teachers regularly visit the class.  They include Michael Meeneghan, Pauline Ghosal, Yoshi Inada and Leslie Ann Lewis, each bringing their own particular flavour to the work.

Our STAT moderator is Anne Battye.
