Alexander Technique Lessons in London
Ease back pain, improve posture, reduce stress
I’m Anthony Kingsley MSTAT. For more than 40 years I have taught the Alexander Technique in London, working with office workers, musicians, actors, athletes and people recovering from injury or living with chronic pain.
Lessons are one-to-one at The Alexander Studio in Golders Green, North London — about 20 minutes from central London on the Northern line or by bus — and online.
My approach is gentle, practical and responsive to the individual. I am also Director of the Alexander Teacher Training School, where I have trained Alexander teachers for over 35 years.

“I cannot recommend Anthony highly enough. I came to him having lost my voice and ability to speak due to a partial paralysis of a vocal fold. Two months on, I am well on my way to full recovery. …”

Why learn with Anthony?
I am Director of the Alexander Teacher Training School in Golders Green, where I train new Alexander teachers, and a qualified psychotherapist and somatic psychotherapist.
I have taught the Alexander Technique for over 40 years, including six years working with Dr Wilfred Barlow, one of the first teachers trained by F. M. Alexander.
Lessons take place in a dedicated professional studio, calm, light and private, with parking.
My work brings together extensive experience, careful attention and a genuine interest in each person as a whole.
I was honoured to write the introduction to the 2018 republication of F. M. Alexander’s classic book, The Use of the Self.
I am certified, regulated and insured by the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT).

So what are Alexander Technique lessons all about?
Alexander sessions are often called lessons because we explore and learn together.
Through gentle guidance, movement and conversation, we explore ways to support emotional and physical wellbeing, allowing space for improved mental health and neurological self-regulation. Lessons are individual and unhurried, with time to work at your own pace.
My approach recognises you as a whole person, with mind and body intimately connected. It respects our capacity for recovery, renewal and resilience, and explores how habitual patterns of tension and response may get in the way of nature’s healing.
Supporting Recovery and Building Resilience
Although sometimes mistaken for a posture system, the Alexander Technique understands posture as one expression of how we respond to ourselves, other people and the pressures of life.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I bring a trauma-informed understanding to my work, offering a calm, respectful environment in which you can proceed at your own pace.
By noticing patterns of tension, protection and reaction, you can develop a greater sense of safety, choice and emotional wellbeing. Changes in posture, breathing and movement can then emerge naturally—without strain.
