About STAT, The Society of Teachers
of the Alexander Technique
About the Society
The Alexander Technique has been taught for over one hundred years. In 1958,
the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT) was founded in the
UK by teachers who were trained personally by FM Alexander. STAT’s first aim
is to ensure the highest standards of teacher training and professional practice.
Teaching members of STAT:
- Are registered (MSTAT) to teach the Technique after completing an approved three-year training course or having
reached a standard approved by STAT.
- Are required to adhere to the Society’s published Code of Professional
Conduct and Competence, and are covered by professional indemnity insurance.
There are currently over 2500 teaching members of STAT and its Affiliated Societies
world-wide. Graduates of STAT training
courses are assessed by a system of external moderation. The Society also runs a
post-graduate programme of Continuing Professional Development.
STAT’s further aims are to promote public awareness and understanding of the
Alexander Technique, and to encourage research. The Society publishes a regular
newsletter (STATNews) and The Alexander Journal

STAT holds a national Annual Conference in June.
