About Us“ATI please stay as you are while you change with ease and delicacy” Who we areWe are a diverse group of Alexander enthusiasts from all around the world. We love coming together, and enjoy sharing the work. As AT teachers, we value the human connection and exchange of work and ideas. ATI encourages equality in its activities across borders, race, gender and sexuality. Each year the ATI Annual Conference is held in a different country so that we get to travel and support the teachers in the host country, allowing us to bring an Alexander presence to that community. You do not need to be a member of ATI to attend the Conference, or to present a workshop at the Conference, but you may want to join anyway.
ATI is a member-run non-profit organization with a current membership of over 400 people, who live in 22 countries. We encourage members to be active in their regional communities around the world. ATI supports and respects the different cultural needs of smaller local hubs. What we doATI offers a unique teacher certification process whereby a trainee or teacher can be evaluated by ATI Sponsors. There are opportunities to meet ATI Sponsors at the ATI Annual Conference and to work with them. ATI also recognizes Teaching Certificates of many international Alexander Technique societies. You can learn more by following our link to the Become an ATI Teacher page. We believe that when we come together with common bonds to improve our selves, learn, teach, survive, thrive we are fueled by each-others warmth and ideas. This energy is what connects us and moves us forward from the big bang of our inception in 1992 to the ever evolving and expanding community we are.
