In Conversation with Anthony Kingsley - Trauma-informed Alexander Technique
In this interview, we trace Anthony Kingsley's personal journey with the Alexander Technique, beginning with his first encounter in 1979. We explore his training in Israel and follow his path as a teacher and assistant in several training schools in London, culminating in the establishment of his own training course in 2004. Anthony shares the story of how he discovered the technique, his formative experiences in training, and the evolution of his understanding and practice. As a trained psychotherapist, he developed a unique trauma-informed and emotionally literate approach to the Alexander Technique. We speak about the personal motivations, challenges, and insights that shaped his approach to teaching and his visions for the future.
